CPL 2020 Match 19: SLZ vs BT Preview Dream11 Probable Playing 11 Pitch Report | BAR vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction Today | Barbados Tridents vs St. Lucia Zouks Key Players | Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
The defending champions Barbados Tridents will take on St. Lucia Zouks in the 19th game of the Caribbean Premier League 2020.
How do Barbados Tridents bounce back after heartbreak yesterday? They had the game against TKR in the palm of their hands, only to lose courtesy of an incredible onslaught by the great Kieron Pollard. Their loss yesterday came after they broke a three-game losing streak. Rashid Khan, Johnson Charles, Jason Holder, Kyle Mayors, Mitchell Santner have performed consistently for them while Raymon Reifer, Ashley Nurse have also showed good signs. Can they bounce back mentally?
St. Lucia Zouks have performed exceptionally well this season. They are second on the points table, winning four out of six. Their off-spinners are performing really well, as are their batsmen. Roston Chase, Mohammad Nabi, Scott Kuggeleijn and Kesrick Williams have been their star performers this season. Rahkeem Cornwall, Andre Fletcher, and Najibullah Zadran have also chipped in with few performances. They will expect their players to repeat the same in this game.
