Barbados Royals have won both their first two games to take the second spot on the table. They started the season with a 9-wicket win against Antigua and Barbuda and followed it up with a 2-wicket win over St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
Quinton de Kock is currently leading the team’s batting charts with 106 runs in just 2 innings at a strike rate of 183. De Kock is a destructive opener and he being in form really gives the Royals an edge.
Rahkeem Cornwall (227 runs in the last 10 matches at a strike rate of 172) is a dangerous opener as well and we are backing the big guy to make an impact in this game.
Young Sri Lankan all-rounder Dunith Wellalage is proving to be a useful addition for the Royals. He has already smashed 39 runs at 122 and also taken 4 wickets at an economy of 5.87.
Maheesh Theekshana and Obed McCoy, however, are their main strike bowlers and have been among the wickets.

After losing their first four matches of the season, Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have finally picked up some momentum by securing two back-to-back wins – against Trinbago Knight Riders by 6 runs and versus St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots by 2 wickets.
Pakistan's flamboyant opener, Fakhar Zaman, has been in scintillating form, leading the team's batting charge with 159 runs in 5 innings at a strike rate of 133. Jewel Andrew has provided solid support in the middle order, contributing 128 runs at an average of 111.30.
The versatile Imad Wasim has proven to be an invaluable asset, excelling both with the bat and the ball. He has amassed 134 runs at a strike rate of 147.25 and claimed 7 wickets at an impressive economy of 7.72.
Fabian Allen, with 7 wickets in 5 innings at 8.23, is another strong bowling option for the team.
The Falcons might also use seam bowling all-rounder Shamar Springer (7 wickets in 6 matches at 10.46) if the other bowlers fail to get wickets.
Key Players: Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, Brandon King

The pitches at Bridgetown are known for their pace and bounce, but they generally favor batsmen. The surface here offers true pace and bounce, allowing batsmen who adapt to the conditions to play aggressive shots with confidence. Although seamers may initially find some assistance with the new ball, batsmen will generally dominate the play.
The weather in Barbados will be cloudy for the most part tomorrow. There is a chance of some rain earlier in the morning, but the forecast is clear for the rest of the day, so we should get a full match.

The average first innings score at Kensington Oval in Bridgetown is 155. The highest total posted at the venue in the CPL is Barbados Royals’ 223-2 while chasing a target of 221 against St. Kitts and Nevis Patriot. Given the trends in this year’s CPL, this should be another belter of a wicket. The team batting first will be looking to set a score of around 180-200 runs.
Batting first is generally advantageous at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown. Out of the 33 domestic T20s played here, 20 have been won by the team batting first. Both captains are hence likely to be interested in batting first.
Barbados Royals will take confidence from the fact that they have already beaten Antigua and Barbuda Falcons quite comprehensively earlier this season. However, the Falcons have built up some winning momentum and won’t be pushovers this time. Overall, tough, Barbados look to be stronger and should dominate this contest.
We are backing Barbados Royals as the winners of this match.
