In a fiery CPL 2025 rematch, Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) are going to host Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF) at the Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. The Knight Riders rebounded after a loss to the Falcons with a tidy 18-run win over Saint Lucia Kings, driven by the consistency of Colin Munro, Nicholas Pooran and Kieron Pollard in the middle order. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, after upsetting TKR earlier in the season, saw their own form wobble – their batting is heavily reliant on Karima Gore’s purple patch while their bowlers remain their key strength. Both sides will be determined: TKR seeking to settle scores and consolidate their campaign in front of home fans.

TKR vs ABF Match Prediction & Analysis (Who Will Win?)
The Knight Riders boast depth in both batting and bowling, with Munro and Hales able to launch strong starts and heavy-hitters Pooran, Pollard, and Russell destined to finish aggressively. In the bowling department, Mohammad Amir and Andre Russell spearhead pace, while Usman Tariq, Sunil Narine, and Akeal Hosein shine in spin-friendly conditions. The Falcons, despite their giant-killing result last time, remain dependent on Karima Gore and a handful of bowlers, with Cornwall and Shakib’s form crucial but unreliable. On balance, the hosts’ finishing power and all-round depth make them front-runners in this contest.

Trinbago Knight Riders vs Antigua Barbuda Falcons Teams Preview (Top Players to Bat On)
Trinbago Knight Riders
TKR’s top order led by Munro and Hales is perfectly set up for fast launches, while Pooran, Pollard, and Russell shoulder the middle and lower order fireworks. Usman Tariq’s prolific form with the ball adds spice to a bowling attack already strong with Amir and Narine. Expect their experience to count on home turf.
TKR Probable Playing XI-
Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (C & WK), Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Sunil Narine, Mohammad Amir, Usman Tariq, McKenny Clarke
Top Player to Bat On- Colin Munro & Sunil Narine.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons
The Falcons face pressure due to inconsistent batting outside of form-man Karima Gore. Rahkeem Cornwall and Shakib Al Hasan must click to support a spin-heavy bowling lineup that remains their main weapon. Imad Wasim’s captaincy and whippy pace from Jayden Seales are strengths, yet lack of a true lower-order finisher could cost at the death.
ABF Probable Playing XI-
Jewel Andrew, Rahkeem Cornwall, Karima Gore, Andries Gous (WK), Shakib Al Hasan, Imad Wasim (C), Fabian Allen, Shamar Springer, Jayden Seales, Salman Irshad, Usama Mir
Top Player to Bat On- Karima Gore & Andries Gous
