Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will look to extend their winning streak when they take on Trinbago Knight Riders in tonight’s high-stakes Eliminator at Providence Stadium in Guyana, with the match scheduled for 8 pm.

The Falcons enter the knockout showdown with momentum firmly on their side, having claimed victory in their last two matches to secure their playoff berth. Under the leadership of Imad Wasim, the team scraped into the final playoff spot as the fourth-ranked team, managing five wins from their 10 league encounters.

Standing in their way are the Trinbago Knight Riders, who despite finishing higher on the points table, arrive at Providence Stadium facing their own challenges. Nicholas Pooran’s squad claimed third place with six victories from 10 matches, earning them a more comfortable path to the playoffs.

However, the Knight Riders‘ recent form tells a different story. The team has stumbled badly in the final stretch of the league phase, suffering three consecutive defeats that have raised questions about their readiness for the pressure-cooker atmosphere of elimination cricket.

Tonight’s winner-takes-all encounter will test whether the Falcons can maintain their upward trajectory or if the Knight Riders can rediscover the form that carried them through most of the league campaign.

  2. Three losses in a row for Knight Riders is worrying, confidence takes a hit when you can’t close out games.
