CPL 2020 Match 11: BT vs SKN Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | CPL 2020 Match 11: BT vs SKN Dream11 Prediction Today | Barbados Tridents vs St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots Key Players | Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
The CPL party is in full flow and will move to the Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain from The Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba for the next 10 games.
In the 11th game of the season, Barbados Tridents and the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots will play each other. St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots have lost three matches in a row and are in trouble at the bottom of the points table. Their batting has failed miserably in all three games, and is the major reason for their poor performance. They are over-dependent on Evin Lewis and Chris Lynn to put up runs on the board and both of them have thrown it away after getting starts. Dinesh Ramdin’s return to form will give them some relief but they’ll need their batters to take responsibility and give their bowlers, who have been excellent, something to defend; skipper Rayad Emrit, Sheldon Cottrell, and Sohail Tanvir, along with the spinners, have picked wickets regularly.
Barbados Tridents, coming off a tough loss vs TKR, have already defeated the Patriots once this season by six runs in which Rashid Khan starred with both bat and ball along with Mitchell Santner. However, their fall from 68/0 to 120/5 against TKR highlights the issues they need to sort out in their batting department, after Keiron Pollard, Darren Bravo and Colin Munro destroyed their bowling. So, can they bounce back in this game and deliver an all-round performance?
Key Players to Watch/Key Stats
- Evin Lewis has 246 runs, which is the highest of current players when these two teams play. He was run-out in the last encounter vs the Tridents.
- Jason Holder scored a quickfire 38 against SKN in the last game and also has 144 runs and strikes at 150 against the Patriots. Also, Holder scored an impressive 34* off 19 balls yesterday vs TKR.
- Johnson Charles (52 off 36 balls) and Shai Hope (36 off 38 balls) are coming off a 68-run partnership yesterday vs TKR. Can they put on another big effort today?
- Ben Dunk has a strike rate of 161.90 against Barbados and has played two good knocks in this tournament.
- Sheldon Cottrell leads the bowling charts with 11 wickets between these two sides. He also took two wickets when these two sides played this season.

Match Prediction
Although both teams are having issues with their batting, Barbados is clear favorites in this game. The Patriots will need a big innings from either of their openers to win this game. It will be again the contest between Barbados bowling against Patriots batting.
