In their last match of the competition, the openers Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis did a good job with the bat against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. They scored 41 and 61 runs respectively.

The roles of the all-rounder in the team are fulfilled by the likes of David Wiese and Roston Chase. In the last game against St Kitts and Nevil Patriots, David Weise contributed both with the bat and the ball. He scored 21 runs and also took 3 wickets in the game.

The key bowlers for the team are Roston chase, Larry Edwards, David Weise, Alzarri Joseph, and Matthew Forde.

Johnson Charles has been in terrific touch with the bat in this year's competition. He has scored 3 fifties out of the last 5 outings in CPL 2022. After scoring a brisk 61 he has succeeded in overtaking Kyle Mayers in the run-scoring charts of this year's CPL. This wicketkeeper-batsman is critical for the fortunes of his side in making it to the playoff stages of the competition. Alzarri Joseph is right on the money in this year's CPL and he is currently the joint leader in terms of wicket-takers in the competition with 13 wickets. This speedster is a constant threat to the batters with his yorkers and quick bouncers.

TKR vs SLK Toss Prediction

The surface on offer at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad is a balanced one. Although it may hold good for the entire duration of the match, it will offer help to the bowlers. So, the team winning the toss might decide to bat first and set a target rather than getting involved in a tough and nail-biting chase in the second half of the match. It will be a good idea to set an insurmountable total on the board for the team winning the toss.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at this venue will offer a bit of assistance for the bowlers. The batsmen that enjoy playing their shots in batting-friendly conditions might not like to bat on this track. There is a tendency for the ball to grip the surface, especially in the second half of the game. This will also bring the spinners into the picture.
