 TKR VS SLZ PREDICTION: Who will win?

The match 27 of the Hero CPL is a clash between the top contenders of this season. TKR will take the field on Friday to extend their undefeated streak to 9 matches. They have won eight of their league matches, even without assembling their full-strength squad. Only once did they struggle to be on the right side of the result. There too their captain Pollard pulled off an outstanding inning to take them home quite comfortably. So they will be approaching this match as a practice match ahead of the much-anticipated play-offs.

St Lucia also has booked their place in the play-offs and are now placed third on the points table. They are unlikely to fall to the fourth spot but still, they will look to win the rest of their remaining matches. That being said the undefeated TKR still goes ahead as the clear cut favorites to win this match, and it will be wise to invest in them for online cricket betting.

Trinbago Knight Riders to win the match

• They are high on confidence after having won all of their 8 league games.
• Out of form, Lendl Simmons got back to form on the last match and he is expected to carry on that form as per today match prediction.
• Zouks lack depth in their batting line-up and that could be exploited by the in-form TKR bowlers.

TKR VS SLZ PREDICTION

Since the match is a dead rubber, TKR is expected to bench most of their star players including the likes of Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine. This would give the opportunity for the rest of the team members to put up a noteworthy performance to seal their place in the eleven. The batting line-up consisting of Tim Siefert, Colin Munro, Darren Bravo, and Sikandar Raza is in great touch.  With Khary Pierre, Pravin Tambe, Sikandar Raza, and Akeal Hosein also bowling well, TKR has more depth in its squad than any other side. But that being said, if they decide to bench most of their prominent players, then Zouks have a chance to outshine them.

The Zouks have a weak batting lineup. Their star all-rounder Rakheem Cornwall returned back to form in the previous match and it’s a positive sign for the team. The batting line-up consisting of Andre Fletcher, Kavem Hodge, Mohammad Nabi, and Najibullah hasn’t had a great tournament so far.

But St. Lucia Zouks bowling has been pretty good in the series so far. Kesrick Williams, Scott Kuggeleijn, Mohammad Nabi, and Javelle Glenn have all been able to put in a match-winning performance. Captain Sammy has been leading his troops really well but hasn’t been able to put up match worthy individual performance to help his team. Apart from captaincy, he is a liability in the eleven.

So as an expert free tip opinion it would be wise not to invest in Zouks, as far as this match is concerned.

TKR Playing 11: Lendl Simmons, Amir Jangoo, Colin Munro, Darren Bravo, Tim Seifert, Sikandar Raza, Dwayne Bravo, Akeal Hosein, Anderson Phillip, Khary Pierre, Pravin Tambe

SLZ Playing 11: R Cornwall, Andre Fletcher, Leniko Boucher, Kaven Hodge, Najibullah Zadran, Mohammad Nabi, Darren Sammy, Javelle Glenn, Scott Kugggeleijn, Kesrick Williams, Chemar Holder.

TKR vs SLZ Toss Prediction and Pitch Report

The team that wins the toss is most likely to field first because of the expected rain. There is a high chance of rain playing the spoilsport during the time when the first match is going to be played. The first matchday before yesterday was washed out and we could have another rain-delay or a washout here as well. The pitch is expected to be on the slower side and it will be helpful to the spinners. The first-innings total of around 140 looks very promising on this pitch.

Lendl Simmons

Lendl Simmons got back to form on the last match and scored an astonishing 96 of 63 balls to take TKR home. He is expected to continue his form as per Dream11 Prediction.

Mohammad Nabi

Star Afghan all-rounder Mohammad Nabi is capable of turning the fate of the match on his own. His all-round abilities make him a bankable option to invest your money in for online cricket betting.

Khary Pierre

He had been in stunning form with the ball and has been leading the bowling charge for the Zouks. He is more or less expected to continue the same for the coming match.

Sikandar Raza

Raza had been in splendid form with both the bat and ball. His all-round abilities will be once again needed for the TKR in the absence of Kieron Pollard.

Colin Munro

TKR’s top-order batsman Colin Munro is a very dangerous player when he is in full flow. He is a risky option to place your bet on as he is a hit and miss player. But when he gets going, there is absolutely no way to stop him.

Pravin Tambe

Veteran Indian leg spinner Tambe has been ruling the CPL even at the age of 48. He took few wickets and some stunning catches in the field. His ability to control the flow of runs makes him a valuable asset to the team.
