Barbados Tridents:
Despite losing three matches against Warriors this season, Tridents come into the game on a bit of high by defeating defending champions Knight Riders in Qualifier 2 where Raymon Reifer and Ashley Nurse contributed with both bat and ball. We don't expect them to make any changes in their playing XI.
Predicted XI: Johnson Charles, Alex Hales, Shakib Al Hasan, Jean-Paul Duminy, Shai Hope (WK), Jonathan Carter, Jason Holder (C), Raymon Reifer, Ashley Nurse, Hayden Walsh, Harry Gurney
Top Picks:
Wicket-keeper: Johnson Charles (9.5 credits)
The tournament's third leading-scorer, who has smashed 376 runs in 12 matches with an average of 31.33 with three half-centuries to his name. He should be your wild card pick for this game because not only with runs but with his wicket-keeping skills can also earn some extra points.
Batsman: Brandon King (9.5 credits)
The tournament's leading run-scorer is coming into this match after smashing a blistering century in his last match against Tridents, so don't be surprised if you see another one. He's in red-hot form at the moment must be an easy pick for this game.
All-rounder: Shoaib Malik (9.5 credits)
Malik has been exceptional with the bat for Warriors where he averages 78.25 in CPL 2019. He's not known for big hitting, but if wickets fall early, Malik will come into play. You can expect him to contribute with the ball as well.
Bowler: Imran Tahir (9.5 credits)
Tahir has been outstanding in this tournament where he took 15 scalps in just eight matches at an economy of 5.58. However, he has excellent figures against the Tridents this season where in just two matches, he grabbed four wickets at an economy of 4.34. We expect him to have another good day with the ball in hand.
Captain options: Brandon King, Imran Tahir
