CPL 2025, Match 4: Trinbago Knight Riders are all set to play their first match in CPL 2025. They will face St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in the fourth match of the tournament on August 17. The match will be live from 8:30 PM IST. This match is expected to be very exciting after Trinbago's thumping win against St Kitts in CPL 2024.
The Patriots, led by Jason Holder, have a strong team with bowlers like Andre Fletcher, Evin Lewis and Kyle Mayers, which gets a good mix of fast and spin bowlers like Naseem Shah and Waqar Salmakhel. The Knight Riders, led by Nicholas Pooran, bring a strong team with Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell and Sunil Narine, which has a mix of experience as well as explosive batting and versatile bowling.
Both teams have match-winning players who can turn the tide of the match, making this match crucial for an early lead in the tournament. With the Patriots desperate to continue their recent form and the Knight Riders looking to establish their dominance under new leadership, this match promises to be a tough and competitive cricket.
Warner Park is usually a place for runs, but the first match of CPL 2025 proved to be a rare low-scoring match where the bowlers had the upper hand. The pacers got movement with the new ball, while the spinners got a fair amount of turn from the surface. The scores remained normal in the second match as well, indicating that it is a bowler-friendly surface.
The batsmen will have to spend time at the crease before picking up the pace. Captains winning the toss are expected to bowl first, taking advantage of the early help and chasing down the target comfortably under lights.
In the 91 CPL matches played at this ground, the teams chasing the target have been victorious 50 times, while the teams batting first have won 38 times. There have also been 2 ties and 1 match ended in a no-result at this ground. The teams bowling first won the match in the first two matches here as well.
