CPL 2025: Top 3 player battles to watch out for in match 7

The seventh match of Caribbean Premier League (CPL 2025) will see the Trinbago Knight Riders against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua on August 20, 2025.

With one victory from one game thus far, the Trinbago Knight Riders are ranked third in the CPL 2025 points standings. On the other hand, with one victory, one defeat, and one draw from their first three games, the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons sit atop the CPL 2025 points standings.

Here are the top 3 player battles to watch out for in match 7 of CPL 2025:

1. Karima Gore vs Mohammad Amir

Karima Gore will be coming off a brilliant 64* in the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons’ previous match. He had an amazing show with the bat, hitting three fours and two sixes in his 53-ball knock that anchored ABF’s win over the Barbados Royals.

Needing to keep Gore in line, the Trinbago Knight Riders might turn to the experience of Mohammad Amir. Amir will try to outwit the inexperienced batsman with his deft seam movement and control.

2. Kieron Pollard vs Shakib Al Hasan

Kieron Pollard and Shakib Al Hasan are two legends of not only the T20 world but also international cricket. Kieron Pollard has a wealth of experience in the CPL, with 2828 runs and 61 wickets in 126 games. His runs in CPL have come at a strike rate of 149, and he has banished some of the best bowlers to all parts of every ground in the Caribbean.

Shakib Al Hasan has faced Pollard not only in international cricket but also in CPL. Shakib boasts of 149 T20I wickets and 498 T20 wickets. As many as 37 of those scalps have come in CPL with a best of 6/6. Shakib knows Pollard’s every strength and every weakness, and this will be a mouthwatering encounter to feast on.

3. Colin Munro vs Imad Wasim

Colin Munro has had an excellent start to this CPL 2025, hitting 120, his sixth T20 century and second in CPL history. Munro has been an excellent opener in T20 cricket with 11343 runs in 442 games, and his strike rate of 141 makes him different from others, as he goes after the bowler from ball one.

However, one weakness that Munro has is against quality spin. And that’s where Imad Wasim comes in. Wasim has become an expert in bowling with a new ball. He has 375 wickets in T20s, and 71 of those have come in CPL. He knows the Caribbean conditions well and will be an excellent counter to Munro, who might be enticed to go after Wasim.
