What's the match?

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots take on Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.

When is it taking place?

The match is scheduled to take place at 7pm local time (GMT-5) on Saturday, September 3.

Where is the match being played?

This game is due to be staged at Warner Park on St Kitts. 

Who's got the form?

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots started their title defence with a 47-run defeat at the hands of Jamaica Tallawahs and followed it up with a seven-wicket loss against Barbados Royals. 

Dwayne Bravo's side leaked 183 runs against the Tallawahs and could only post 136 for 8 in reply. Sherfane Rutherford (33 off 22) was the only player to find any joy with the bat. Against Barbados, they put 149 runs on the board, 81 of which came from Andre Fletcher, but couldn't defend it.

Trinbago Knight Riders kicked off their campaign with a win, defeating St Lucia Kings by three wickets. The four-time champions, however, made hard work of chasing 143, getting over the line with just four balls to spare. Akeal Hosein picked up 4 for 13 for TKR.

What's the match-up to watch?

As mentioned, Hosein was the standout performer for TKR in their tournament opener, taking 4 for 13 as he dismissed four of St Lucia's top-five batters.

And having seen Tallawahs duo Chris Green (0 for 21) and Imad Wasim (2 for 20) and Barbados' Joshua Bishop (1 for 19) produce miserly spells earlier in the tournament, he'll feel confident of adding to his haul and creating a headache for St Kitts' top order. For example, Fletcher has a strike rate of 103.81 against spin and 132.20 against seam.

What's the news from the camps?

Trinbago Knight Riders are still missing overseas players, with Colin Munro only set to arrive for the St Lucia leg of the competition and Maheesh Theekshana competing in the Asia Cup.

St Kitts are missing Wanindu Hasaranga (Asia Cup) while Dominic Drakes is out injured. Sheldon Cottrell, who previously hadn't played a competitive match since February, featured against Barbados Royals, scoring one run and returning figures of 0 for 26 from two overs.
