SKN Patriots vs Trinbago Knight Riders
The 2024 CPL season has been a tough one for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, as they’ve managed to secure only one win out of their nine matches. They currently sit at the bottom of the points table and will face Trinbago Knight Riders in their next game on September 23 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. Trinbago, led by Kieron Pollard, has already qualified for the playoffs, but they still have a few concerns to address as they approach the business end of the tournament.
