TKR look to 'dominate again,' face struggling Patriots in Tarouba

FOUR-TIME Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL) champions Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will aim to get back to winning ways when they host cellar-placed St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SKNP) from 7 pm at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy (BLCA) in Tarouba on September 22.With the Kings and Royals already sealing their playoff places ahead of their second meeting in as many days on September 22, TKR will be looking to join the party as they continue their hunt for a fifth title.

TKR are fourth on the six-team table with eight points from six matches, and they will be coming up against a Patriots team which is on an eight-game losing skid – their lone victory coming in a last-ball thriller against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the first game of the 2024 season on August 29. For captain Kieron Pollard and the TKR team, they will want to rebound quickly after going down to the Falcons by six wickets in a controversial affair at the Queen’s Park Oval, St Clair on September 19. It was the Falcons’ second win over TKR this season and kept their own playoff hopes alive ahead of their September 21 meeting with reigning champions Guyana Amazon Warriors.

Come on Patroits...show some fire

In reply to ray

What fire ..dem gats none...

In reply to sgtdjones

Maybe they find some

In reply to sgtdjones

So they should. SKNP lacks leadership and basically have only pride to play for. I hope they could get their 2nd win but just don't see it.

The real test for TKR will come vs SLK, GAW and BR.

6.15pm So, a miserable campaign for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots comes to an end today as they take on Trinbago Knight Riders. Patriots won their first match of the season, and have not tasted victory since. Knight Riders, meanwhile, are looking to secure a playoffs spot. They are already fourth on the table, and have played fewer games than all the other teams. They had a blip in their last match, against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons after a string of three victories, and will look to get back to winning ways.

....All Ya ready to rumble ...

When we rumble ....

WE win...

In reply to voiceofreason

Tonight in Tarouba ...we not playing to lose.

WE play to win...

Just checked the radar ..

A few clouds off T&T , but its clear night for a full game..

Narper must be heading back to Canada

Safe return Narps...

6.30pm Trinbago Knight Riders win the toss and bowl. Pollard says it's head...

Whooooooooo hooooooooooooooo

Here we go.

Halliwell can have his power nap and come back when TKR bats ...

Polly says it's their first time at this ground this season and they want to get an idea of how the wicket plays. He says TKR want to 'limit them to something limited'.
Three changes for TKR, one of them being a forced one. Sunil Narine, Josh Little and Shaqkere Paris miss out. Jason Roy, Dwayne Bravo and Jayden Seales return for them. Narine is out with a niggle.

Josh Clarkson is in for Patriots and Jeremiah Louis will make his debut. Andre Fletcher says they want to entertain the fans in the last game. "People always remember the good things and I hope we can give them something to smile about."

.....

TKR XI: Jason Roy, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Keacy Carty, Kieron Pollard (capt), Tim David, Andre Russell, Dwayne Bravo Akeal Hosein, Chris Jordan, Jayden Seales, Waqar Salamkheil


Patriots XI: Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher (capt), Kyle Mayers, Mikyle Louis, Joshua Da Silva (wk), Rilee Rossouw, Josh Clarkson, Anrich Nortje, Ashmead Nedd, Tabraiz Shamsi, Jeremiah Louis

6.45pm The pitch is as central as it gets, with one square boundary (64m) just one metre longer than the other. There are some grassy areas on the pitch and some bald areas, so it could be two-paced, says Ian Bishop in his pitch report. No threat of rain.

6.50pm Tabraiz Shamsi speaking to the host broadcaster: "They say you've got to peak at the right time in the tournament and we peaked in the first game. There's no weakness in the squad, but nine games and one win is not great. Everybody wants to beat TKR, and we want to leave on a good note. We haven't played good cricket yet, even the game that we won. The players we have within the team, we can beat any team. So we want to spoil their party. You'd expect a lot of doom and gloom but we have good people behind the scenes and we like to keep it light."

In reply to sgtdjones

Shamsi say his team peaked in the first game of the tournament

At least the man honest

...

So welcome to Tarouba ...South T&T.

Land of fete and the most beautiful women in the Caribbean...

In reply to Acid

There is no peak at Tabouba...Just San Fernando hill ...close by...

7pm Out walk Evin Lewis and Patriots skipper Andre 'Spiceman' Fletcher. Lewis is third on this season's run charts.

The Knight Riders fielders take their spots.

And he continues his onslaught! This is full and wide and he flays this over cover. Bounces just short of the rope

Fletcher could afford to take a back seat and let Mayers and Rossouw do their own thing. But now he knows he has to take matters in his own hand

Salamkheil pulls out late as Fletcher gives charge. he will bowl it again

Oh, that's a beauty! Goes through bat and pad. Legbreak around off, spins in sharply as Louis looks to defend. Pooran appeals, but Pollard not interested in the review. Or is he? He signals for it at the last second. Pooran was adamant of an inside edge

Johnson Charles will pass him again as he has 2- 5 games to play this season.

......Ok TKR lets focus here ...
This is gettable..

8.50pm So, TKR need 194 to win. Patriots skipper Andre Fletcher said he wanted to entertain the crowd and entertain he did with a 61-ball 93 that comprised some excellent shots. There was plenty of entertainment from Kyle Mayers as well, with his 30-ball 60, and Rilee Rossouw with an explosive 20-run cameo. Chris Jordan finishes with two wickets, and he was the one who provided the key breakthrough, taking an excellent catch off his own bowling to dismiss Mayers. Well, join us in just a bit for the start of the chase

This is set up nicely

You can call a winner at the end of the power play. Winner will be sleep.

9pm Welcome back to the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. TKR will have to pull off the highest successful chase at this venue if they want to avoid back-to-back defeats. The Patriots fielders take to the field, joining the umpires and the TKR openers. Keacy Carty is opening today, along with Jason Roy with Narine injured and Paris dropped.

Big shout for lbw as Mayers gets one coming in to beat Roy's bat. Not given but Patriots review. Was that going down leg? Looked like upon first viewing. Hits him on the knee roll on the back pad in front of middle and leg. And how unfortunate for Mayers and Patriots that it's umpire's call on wickets. They retain the review, but they would have wanted the wicket

Pooran on the attack immediately! Waits on a length ball that sits up nicely. It's seaming away across Pooran, so it gives him room to free his arms and flat-bat it past mid-on

Louis to Pooran, 2 runs
Confusion all abound as Pooran gets another reprieve! Cutter going across Pooran who looked to go inside out. Comes off the top edge and goes high in the air. Mikyle Louis tracked it from cover but pulls out just at the last second thinking another fielder was going to get there

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots...193/4

Trinbago Knight Riders..(18.3/20 ov, T:194) 197/3

Trinbago won by 7 wickets (with 9 balls remaining)

It's a wide full toss and Pooran flat-bats it down the ground as Knight Riders complete the highest run chase at this venue. Pooran was dropped four times, but he has made the most of those chances. And Patriots finish the season still with just the one win to their name


Nicholas Pooran is the player of the match: "We just had to get over the line. [On being dropped four times] We [him and Pollard] always try to have a big partnership."

11pm Trinbago Knight Riders bounce back in style. It looked like they were in trouble for some parts of the game, but Pooran's blistering 93* trumped Andre Fletcher's 93 in the end. Jason Roy hit a fine half-century as well. Earlier, it was half-centuries from Fletcher and Mayers that set up the 194-run target. Pooran and Pollard walk off, engaged in a lengthy conversation. TKR will be happy with the boost to their hopes of finishing in the top two. Patriots meanwhile now have the unwanted distinction of being the first team in the CPL to lose nine consecutive games.

Andre Fletcher: "I'm pleased to be honest. People tend to remember the good things. I am happy to put out a good total for the team. Unfortunately we didn't get over the line. Kyle played well also. I couldn't have asked for anything better with the ball. But the thing is dropping five catches is not done, especially of a player like Pooran. We have dropped 28 catches this season, and that cost us. We will try to keep the team as close as possible. We had good team bonding. Normally when teams lose there tends to be some bickering, but we never have that."

Kieron Pollard: "Obviously disappointed with the last game. Patriots batted well and conditions were good for batting. We practiced here last night and saw the ball was coming onto the bat. [On Jason Roy] Very, very happy. It would have done him more bad than good if we played him in the Oval [the last game]. This was always going to be a better wicket so it would give him confidence going into the back end."

Easy like Monday morning

I like that quote from Flech. Politicians should take a page from him. Imagine if UNC had him in their ranks how they would be able to "clean house"
