Match 13 of the Caribbean Premier League features a top-of-the-table clash between the unbeaten Trinbago Knight Riders and the St Lucia Zouks on Wednesday.
Both teams have gotten off to a flying start in CPL 2020 with three wins apiece. While the Knight Riders were expected to enjoy such a start at the beginning of CPL, the Zouks have done well with the likes of Roston Chase and Mohammad Nabi holding fort in the middle order.
Despite both sides being in good form, the Knight Riders, with their plethora of stars, are the clear favourites for this encounter although they cannot take the Zouks lightly.
With the Queen's Park Oval playing host, we should be in for a cracking start to the doubleheader on Wednesday.

Pitch Report
An even contest between bat and ball beckons with help on offer for everyone at the Queen's Park Oval.
The batsmen should fare better than they did at the Brian Lara Stadium with the ball coming on nicely to the bat. While the spinners won't get a lot of help, the pacers will be ones to watch out for with swing on offer with the new ball.
With this being a day game, both teams will ideally look to bat first and set a target of at least 160, which is about par at this venue.
