Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Preview:
Saint Lucia Kings( SLK ) is set to face Trinbago Knight Riders( TKR ) in their 10th match during The Caribbean Premier League 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium on Saturday, August 23.
The defending champions, Saint Lucia Kings, opened their campaign with a thrilling three-run win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Asked to bat first, they piled on 200 for 8 and then held their nerve in a tense final over. Roston Chase stole the show with a blistering 61 off 38 balls, while Johnson Charles anchored the innings with a quickfire 52 from 28. Tim David, continuing his fine run of form, added valuable momentum in the middle overs with 46 from 23 deliveries.
The Kings’ batting lineup looks dangerous and well-rounded. Alongside Chase and Charles, they have Tim Seifert, who can provide explosive starts in the powerplay, and Tim David, who has been in superb touch and enjoys batting on these surfaces.
With the ball, the Kings backed up their batting effort. Khary Pierre impressed with figures of 2 for 25 from his four overs, while David Wiese and Chase chipped in with two wickets each. Alzarri Joseph was expensive last time out, but as their strike bowler, he’ll be expected to find early breakthroughs.
Meanwhile, the Trinbago Knight Riders have had a mixed start to the tournament. They began with a confident 12-run win over St Kitts and Nevis Patriots but then slipped to an eight-run defeat against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. Still, with their squad strength, they remain one of the competition’s top contenders.
Colin Munro has led the way with the bat, smashing a century in the opener and following it up with 44 in the next match. Kieron Pollard has chipped in as well, scoring 62 runs across two games at a strike rate of over 150. With his experience, the team will be counting on him to contribute solid runs again. Alex Hales and Keacy Carty have also shown consistency, both passing 50 runs and proving reliable in building innings.
But the biggest threat is captain Nicholas Pooran. Widely regarded as one of the most destructive T20 batters, he’s yet to really fire this season—though a big knock seems just around the corner.
Their bowling has been solid, with wickets spread across the unit. Usman Tariq has stood out with six wickets at an economy of 8.75, while Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Amir, and Nathan Edwards have taken two each. That said, Amir and Edwards have been a bit costly and will need to tighten up if the Knight Riders are to keep the Kings in check.
