CPL 2020 Match 13: TKR vs SLZ Preview Dream11 Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | TKR vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction Today | Trinbago Knight Riders vs St. Lucia Zouks Key Players | Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
As the CPL 2020 tournament is taking shape, a top of the table clash awaits us at the Queen’s Park Oval.
The undefeated Trinbago Knight Riders, scorers of the highest total so far in the tournament (185/3), will be out to continue their winning streak. Their batting depth came to the fore last game, with Colin Munro, Darren Bravo and Kieron Pollard all contributing to a strong total. And, when you add Lendl Simmons (second-highest run scorer in CPL 2019) and Sunil Narine (two fifties so far in CPL 2020), as well as know-how with the ball, TKR will be tough to beat again.
You can’t count out St. Lucia Zouks, though. They have won three out of four games so far, with their latest an excellent win against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Roston Chase’s superb tournament continued with more runs and economical bowling, as their bowling attack, led by Scott Kuggeleijn, continues to punch above their weight. Today will be a good test of where they are at, as TKR look the tournament’s best side so far. Can they knock them off?

Match Prediction
Top spot is at stake in this highly-anticipated clash. Can St. Lucia Zouks continue their good run of form? They are capable, but need to limit TKR’s strong top five. TKR are favourites, and will be very hard to beat if at least two or three of their top five fire.
