The Patriots and Trinbago Knight Riders will be up against each other in the final match of the league stage on Monday in St Kitts.
The two sides faced each other in the last encounter on Sunday at the same venue where the Patriots rode on a brilliant hundred from Evin Lewis to win the match by 8 wickets while chasing a target of 160 in 20 overs and cement a place in the semi-final.
The SKNP side has already qualified for the semis but will look to carry the momentum before going into the knockouts.
Lewis was in terrific form in the last match while Chris Gayle got a quick-fire 35 off 18 during the course.
Apart from these two, the Patriots have some prominent names such as Ravi Bopara, Dwayne Bravo, Fabian Allen and Sheldon Cottrell in the ranks while Sherfane Rutherford is going through a brilliant run in the competition.
On the other side, Trinbago will have to win this final encounter. But the Knight Riders’ bowling attack struggled against the Patriots baring Sunil Narine who just gave away 10 runs in 4 overs.
Moreover, the Trinbago team had a dismal run while fielding as well as they dropped some catches during the course.
While it is going to be a dress rehearsal for Patriots, the TKR team management has some issues to fix before the side takes the field.
