Watch Caribbean Premier League Cricket Stream Live: Trinbago Knight Riders Vs. Jamaica Tallawahs In Star-Studded 4th CPL
The “biggest party in sport,” the Caribbean Premier League T20 cricket tournament, opened its fourth season last Wednesday and continues on Monday, July 4, with a match that will stream live, pitting the defending champions Trinbago Knight Riders against the Jamaica Tallawahs — with theT20 World Cup winning West Indies star and Knight Riders captain Dwayne Bravo, squaring off against his Windies teammate Chris Gayle, who skippers the Jamaica franchise, who captured the inaugural CPL championship in 2013.
Trinbago was then previously as the Trinidad & Tobago Red Steel, but after Bollywood mega-star Shah Rukh Khan purchased the team, he renamed them after the Indian Premier League team which he also owns, the Kolkata Knight Riders.

The 2016 season will also feature the first CPL matches played in the United States, as the final six group stage games — from July 28 through July 31 — are scheduled to be contested at Central Broward Regional Park and Stadium in Lauderhill, Florida, just east of Fort Lauderdale.
The Florida matches will offer a rare opportunity for U.S.-based cricket fans to see current stars of the sport in action, competing in meaningful games.
Last year, retired cricket greats Shane Warne of Australia and Sachin Tendulkar of India led a “Cricket All-Stars” tour of retired players in a three-match series of exhibition matches at Major League Baseball stadiums.
Watch highlights of the July 2 match pitting Trinbago against the Guyana Amazon Warriors in the video below.

The West Indies Cricket Board has released several of the team’s top Test players to participate in the 2016 Caribbean Premier League — including Captain Jason Holder; all-rounder Carlos Braithwaite, hero of the T20 World Cup; and batsman Darren Bravo.
But the WICB will require those Test players to leave their CPL teams on July 11, giving them 10 days to prepare for for the first match of the four-Test India tour of the West Indies that opens on July 21 in Antigua.
