TKR battles Patriots for crown ...as Bravo’s prediction comes through
A massive crowd is expected to converge on the Brian Lara Cricket Academy tonight to witness the final of the 2017 Hero CPL between the Trinbago Knight Riders and the St. Kitts & Nevis Patriots at 9pm.
When the umpires call play, fans are expected to witness the greatest ever CPL finals, according to TKR captain Dwayne Bravo. Speaking ahead of the clash, the popular all rounder said: “I predicted that we would play the Patriots four times and this has come through. Both teams have played good cricket and deserve to be in the finals really. Fans coming to see the match is expected to see the best ever CPL final. At the moment it is 2-1 this season in favour of us and I predict we will make it 3-1 at the end of the final.”
