Trinbago Knight Riders captain Kieron Pollard is confident the team has the hunger and desire to end the season with a perfect record and a fourth Caribbean Premier League (CPL) title.
In Tuesday’s semi-final, the unbeaten Tridents continued their sensational run after brushing aside the Jamaica Tallawahs in a nine-wicket win. The victory marked a 10th in a row for the Tridents and just one more will see the team create history by being the first to claim the trophy without losing a match.
The Knights Riders would, however, do well to learn from history’s lessons. Just one season ago the Guyana Amazon Warriors, who have never lifted the title, experienced unthinkable heartbreak after losing to the Barbados Tridents in the final. Pollard will be eager to avoid a similar fate and on home soil no less.
“We have come here and played fantastic cricket throughout the tournament so we need to have that cherry on top of it,” Pollard said following the match.
“I know the guys. I watch the faces of the guys in the dressing room, I don’t see overconfidence. You are seeing guys looking level, wanting to come out, and wanting to perform each and every time. We have that hunger for one more time, hopefully we can go all the way. If we do that it will be unprecedented.”
