Trinbago Knight Riders aim to go top of CPL T20 table today

Trinbago Knight Riders could go top of the CPL T20 table today with a victory over the bottom placed Barbados Royals.

The opportunity comes as top of the table St Kitts & Nevis Patriots extended their losing run yesterday with a 22 run loss to Jamaica Tallawahs.

Buoyed by Shamar Brooks’ 43 runs and a hard hitting, six laden innings from Rovman Powell and Andre Russell, the Tallawahs posted 169 for 8 in this innings.

Patriots in response limped to the finish line, managing 147 for 8 in response, handing them their third defeat in a row, after starting the tournament with five successive wins.

The Guyana Amazon Warrior last night also evened the scores when they pulled off a 17 run victory over St Lucia Kings.

The win means Patriots remains top with 10 points while TKR in 2^nd, the Kings in 3^rd and the Amazon Warriors in 4^th all share 8 points each but remain separated by net run rate.

The top 4 teams will move into the semi-finals at the weekend.
