Shamarh Brooks scored a half century in the match but the real heroes were Sheldon Cottrell and Carlos Brathwaite who picked up 3 wickets each. The team are looking high on confidence!
The Knight Riders have not looked good after their first 4 matches. In-fact their season took a tumble when they lost to the Patriots in the super in an away tie. Things have not looked good for them since then. They have failed to register a single victory in their last four outings and there will be alot of pressure on them as defending champions to go on further in the tournament. They have surprised us before but can they do it this time? Only time will tell!
