Their backs against the wall, struggling Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will look to outgun title-contenders, Barbados Tridents (BT) in a must-win CPL 2016 clash to keep alive their play-off hopes. Currently lying at a lowly fourth position in the points table, TKR needs to win their remaining matches to possibly make the playoffs and they will go full throttle on Friday to boost their confidence. Meanwhile, BT will be coming into the match after defeating St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SKNP) with an eye to jump to number one position in the points-table, where Guyana Amazon Warriors (GAW) are perched for now. The Jamaica Tallawahs (JT) have had an okay season so far with two wins from 4 games, whereas GAW are on the top of table with 5 wins from 6 games.

Best economical pick – The Australian Leg spinner Adam Zampa has a perfect tournament till now. He has picked 10 wickets in just 5 matches with an economy of below 6. His salary is just 8 and he can give you a lot of points with his bowling.
Top captains & vice captains – Barbados Tridents has won 2 matches in this tournament so far and AB de Villiers was the man of the match in both the matches. In the first match against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots he scored 63 off just 33 balls and in the second match he score a brilliant knock of 82 off 54 balls. The world boss Chris Gayle has been in superb touch in this Tournament. He has scored 155 runs in just 3 matches with a century to his name till now.
Smart pick – A bruising left-hander with strong shots square of the wicket Colin Munro who scored the first hundred of this year’s CPL, off just 65 balls has been very consistent for Trinbago Knight Riders in this season.
Cautions Pick – The skipper of Guyana Amazon Warriors and the T20 star of New Zealand Martin Guptill has failed to perform to his expectations. He is not scoring consistently which he used to do for his national team.
