Cpl eliminator

Trinbago Knight Riders: As the Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) gear up for their Eliminator clash against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in the Caribbean Premier League 2025, skipper Nicholas Pooran urged his team to have the confidence to overcome any challenge in their pursuit of glory.

“For us, we believe if we have to be successful, we have to beat everyone,” Pooran said. “Playoffs are a different type of cricket, a different type of pressure, and we are accustomed to that. So, we're looking forward to the next couple of days, but as a group, we know we have our work cut out for us.”

Heading into the playoffs, Trinbago Knight Riders went on a five-match unbeaten streak before losing three games on the trot. Reflecting on his team’s performance so far, Pooran stated, “For us, it has been two different tournaments. When we batted first, it was quite tricky, and we've been losing wickets in the powerplay; that's something we want to get better at. But when we batted second, we've won games quite convincingly.”
