CPL 2020: Queen's Park Oval T20 records
After an action-packed start at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, CPL 2020 moves to Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain this week. This venue has a rich history, having hosted some mega matches during the ICC World Cup in 2007.
Trinbago Knight Riders used Queen's Park Oval as their home ground for five CPL matches last year. The Trinidad and Tobago-based franchise has participated in 33 games at this venue, winning 22 of them. Jamaica Tallawahs also have a decent record here, with six wins in 10 matches.
