Match 4 of the CPL 2021 will see Trinbago Knight Riders taking on Barbados Royals in the fourth match of CPL 2021, on Friday, 27 August. Both sides lost their respective opening encounters of the season.
Team News
Despite possessing remarkable bating depth, the Knight Riders faltered while chasing a modest 143 against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. They are likely to go unchanged. Sunil Narine and Lendl Simmons will open batting, while Colin Munro, Tim Seifert, Kieron Pollard will form the crux of the middle order.
The Royals bought Glenn Phillips this season to boost their batting, but he got out cheaply in the first match. Their middle order needs to perform as a unit. Captain Jason Holder has had a terrible day, conceding 45 runs from his quota of four overs and scoring jus a 14-ball 10.
Fantasy Tips
- Narine and Akeal Hosein were prolific with both bat and ball in the first game. Pick both and appoint Narine captain.
- Phillips and Simmons are two must-haves for your team.
- Among wicketkeepers, pick both Hope and Seifert.
