Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel vs. St Lucia Zouks Prediction

Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel continued their progress towards prosperity in the Caribbean Premier League when they defeated Jamaica Tallawahs by 13 runs. The first has played five matches, won four, lost one and will face a rather weak side of the tournament, St Loucia Zouks, who have lost all three encounters so far.

Players to watch

Evin Lewis played a superb knock of 72 runs for T&T Red Steel in the last match against Jamaica Tallawahs. Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo, Kevin O’Brien and Ross Taylor are the pillars of their batting. Kevin O’Brien was the ‘Player of the match’ in the previous game for grabbing four wickets and 32 runs with the bat, whereas Samuel Badree, Kevon Cooper and Fidel Edwards are bowling at their best.

Keddy Lesporis and Henry Davids are the only batsmen of St Lucia Zouks who have scored a fifty each in the event. Sohail Tanvir is proving as a fine all-rounder while Johnson Charles and Andre Fletcher should come out of their shells. Darren Sammy should lead his team from the front in both departments of the game and Shane Shillingford along with Tino Best have yet to make an impression with the ball.
