TKR vs SKN Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible 11 Pitch Report: CPL 2022 Match 26 | TKR vs SKN Dream11 Prediction Today | Guyana Pitch Report

It’s now or never for the disappointing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. The defending champions, after their fifth defeat yesterday, are on the brink of elimination before the CPL 2022 playoffs. With just six points in nine games, St Kitts must win today and hope other results go their way to qualify for the final four.

Batting has been St Kitts’ biggest issue. Only Andre Fletcher (37.83) is averaging above 20 among the top seven, with under-par seasons by the likes of Evin Lewis and Sherfane Rutherford hurting them badly. It won’t get easier today against an established Trinbago Knight Riders attack, who themselves need to win to cement their place in the top four.

With regards to TKR, it has also been an under-par season for the star-studded lineup. But, this is the perfect time to peak. Nicholas Pooran, who is having a poor campaign, returns to a ground he has a great record at. Andre Russell is showing glimpses. Ravi Rampaul continues to take wickets. Akeal Hosein is a terrific spinner. Now, it’s time to put it all together.

TKR vs SKN Possible Playing XI

Trinbago Knight Riders: 1. Tim Seifert (wk), 2. Leonardo Julien, 3. Colin Munro, 4. Nicholas Pooran, 5. Kieron Pollard (c), 6. Andre Russell, 7. Sunil Narine, 8. Akeal Hosein, 9. Khary Pierre, 10. Ravi Rampaul, 11. Daryn Dupavilion
