Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) and Barbados Tridents started their CPL 2020 campaign on a winning note by defeating Guyana Amazon Warriors and St Kitts and Navis Patriots respectively. Both matches were played at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago.
In the opening match of CPL 2020, which was reduced to 17-overs a side due to rain, TKR defeated Guyana Amazon Warriors by four wickets owing to a fantastic all-round display by Sunil Narine.

TKR managed to chase down the total with two balls to spare riding on opener Sunil Narine’s 50 off just 28 balls. TKR did lose a few wickets after Narine’s dismissal but former Dwayne Bravo held his nerve and finished the match with a boundary in the last over of the match.
