Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) will lock horns with Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF) in the Eliminator of the ongoing CPL 2025 at the Providence Stadium in Guyana on Wednesday, September 17.

TKR secured a place in the playoffs after winning six out of 10 games and finishing third on the points tally. Despite qualifying for the knockout stage, the Nicholas Pooran-led team is on a three-match losing streak and will be hoping to quickly regroup if they wish to go forward in the competition.

Meanwhile, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons became the fourth team to enter the playoffs. In the league stage, the team secured five wins out of the 10 matches played. Notably, the Imad Wasim-led team is riding high on confidence after winning their last two games.

The surface at the Providence Stadium has traditionally been slow, assisting spinners and making stroke play challenging. The captain winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first to put runs on the board. A total in the range of 180-190 is expected to be highly competitive, as chasing on this wicket is never easy.

Colin Munro, Alex Hales, Joshua Da Silva(w), Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran(c), Kieron Pollard, Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Akeal Hosein, Usman Tariq, Saurabh Netravalkar

Amir Jangoo(w), Andries Gous, Karima Gore, Kevin Wickham, Shakib Al Hasan, Imad Wasim(c), Fabian Allen, Shamar Springer, Usama Mir, Jayden Seales, Salman Irshad

Trinbago Knight Riders' opener Colin Munro has displayed exceptional form throughout this tournament and stands as the second-highest run-scorer heading into the crucial clash. With two fifties and one century to his name, the southpaw is riding high on confidence. He is anticipated to continue his formidable performance, providing his team with a solid start with the bat.

Trinbago Knight Riders' spinner Usman Tariq could be the best bowler in his team's forthcoming game. The 27-year-old has had a brilliant tournament so far, claiming 13 wickets in seven innings at an economy of 7.91, and is the highest wicket-taker of his team this season. Tariq will be riding high in confidence after some impressive spells.
