MATCH PREVIEW     

The Caribbean Premier League 2025 is running in full steam. We have already had some exciting contests in the middle. The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will be up against the Trinbago Knight Riders in the 7th game as both teams look to build up their position on the points table. The Falcons shared points with the Saint Lucia Kings in the last game. They had won both games against the Knight Riders last season and shall look to repeat the same. The Trinbago Knight Riders have made a good start to the campaign with a win against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. They have a strong batting lineup and start the game with higher odds. It remains to be seen if the Falcons can surprise them with another strong performance in this game.  

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Preview      

Imad Wasim and his men shared the points with the Saint Lucia Kings in the last game after the game had to be called off due to a wet outfield. The team faces a tough challenge against the batting powerhouse Trinbago Knight Riders and will start the game at a disadvantage on cricket betting sites. Wasim would expect a strong show from his bowlers to win this game.  

The team expects a strong show in the game from Rahkeem Cornwall and Jewel Andrew, as both are attacking batters. Karima Gore has looked rock-solid in the middle order and must add runs with Shakib al Hasan and Imad Wasim. Beven Jacobs, Odean Smith, and Obed McCoy will look to do the big-hitting in the lower middle order.  

Their bowling attack faces a big challenge with the Trinbago Knight Riders having a very strong batting lineup. Imad Wasim must lead from the front and get early wickets with Jayden Seales. AM Ghazanfar, Obed McCoy, and Rahkeem Cornwall will look to do well in the middle order. The team also expects good performances in the supporting roles from Odean Smith and Shakib Al Hasan.  

Expected Starting XI for Antigua and Barbuda Falcons         

Imad Wasim (c), Rahkeem Cornwall, Jewel Andrew (wk), Karima Gore, Bevon Jacobs, Shakib Al Hasan, Fabian Allen, Shamar Springer, Jayden Seales, AM Ghazanfar, Obed McCoy 

Trinbago Knight Riders Preview      

Nicholas Pooran and his men had a good start to their campaign. They defeated the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots in a high-scoring game by 12 runs. The batting lineup is in good form, which gives them an edge on cricket betting apps. However, Pooran expects a better show from the bowling attack as they took a beating in the last game.  

Colin Munro will be confident after his electrifying knock of 120 in the last game. He must deliver a good start with Alex Hales. Nicholas Pooran must steer the innings in the middle order and add runs with Kieron Pollard and Keacy Carty. Terrance Hinds, Akeal Hosein, and Sunil Narine are powerful hitters and add solidity to this batting lineup.  

The bowling struggled with line and length in the last game, and they need to find their strike form. Akeal Hosein is the key bowler for the team, and he must deliver early wickets alongside Mohammad Amir. Sunil Narine must use his experience and bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Usman Tariq. The side will look to leverage its depth in bowling and expect good performances from Colin Munro and Terrance Hinds.  

Expected Starting XI for Trinbago Knight Riders     

Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Alex Hales, Sunil Narine, Colin Munro, Keacy Carty, Kieron Pollard, Joshua Da Silva, Akeal Hosein, Terrance Hinds, Usman Tariq, Mohammad Amir 

TOSS: To Bowl First      

In the last six games at this venue, the team chasing the score has won four times. The wicket is great to bat on throughout the game and allows teams chasing scores to pace their innings. The side that wins the toss will look to bowl first and restrict the opposition to a small total.  

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS      

The skies over Antigua shall be clear during the game, and we expect a good batting surface. Teams have made big scores at this venue in the tournament, and the ball is coming nicely to the bat. There is little margin of error for the bowlers, and the team batting first would like to have 180 runs on the board.  

OUR PREDICTION      

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have never lost to the Trinbago Knight Riders. However, the team faces a tough challenge in this game. They need to deliver a strong performance with the ball to have a chance in this game. The Trinbago Knight Riders have a powerful batting lineup and experienced bowlers. It will be a close game, but the Knight Riders will start with a big advantage.  

Our prediction is for Trinbago Knight Riders to win
