Barbados Royals are coming off a tense 2-wicket loss to Trinbago Knight Riders. It was their first loss of the season after winning three consecutive matches.
Quinton de Kock has been the star performer for the Royals this year. The South African opener has blasted 196 runs in just 4 innings at a strike rate of 177.
Unfortunately, no other batter from the team has managed to go past 100 runs yet. Rovman Powell is the closest with 93 runs in 3 innings at 137. This shows that their batting unit hasn’t fired collectively.
On the bowling front, Maheesh Theekshana has been a regular wicket-taker. The Sri Lankan off-spinner has taken 7 wickets in 4 innings, including a spell of 3-26 in his previous game against Trinbago Knight Riders.
Obed McCoy also has 7 wickets in 4 innings, but at an economy of 8.14.
Key Players: Quinton de Kock, Maheesh Theekshana, Rovman Powell
Rahkeem Cornwall, Quinton de Kock (wk), Alick Athanaze, Rovman Powell (c), David Miller, Rivaldo Clarke, Jason Holder, Keshav Maharaj, Maheesh Theekshana, Naveen-ul-Haq, Obed McCoy

Guyana Amazon Warriors are yet to lose a match this season. They have won all three of their matches so far and are coming off a comprehensive 6-wicket win against Saint Lucia Kings.
Rahmanullah Gurbaz has topped their batting charts so far with 136 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 194. The wicket-keeper batter has been in sensational form and will be looking to make an impact at the top.
Shimron Hetmyer has been exceptional as well, smashing 118 runs in 3 innings at a strike rate of 187.
You should also keep an eye on Tim Robinson, who seems to be in good touch.
Among the bowlers, Gudakesh Motie has been outstanding, taking 9 wickets at an economy of just 6.52. He is coming off a brilliant spell of 3-16 versus Saint Lucia Kings.
Captain Imran Tahir has led from the front, taking 6 wickets at 9.63.

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. There is a chance of some rain in the afternoon, which could eventually impact the game.

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. 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. However, with chances of rain in the afternoon on the day of the match, the team winning the toss might look to chase as the pitch becomes easier to bat on in the second half because of the wetness in the outfield.
Guyana Amazon Warriors have beaten Barbados Royals three times in their last five encounters. Last season, the Warriors topped the Royals in both their clashes. This year, both teams are looking well-balanced and in form. They are the top two sides of the season and this should hence be an electric contest. There is not much separating the two teams at the moment, but we reckon Guyana Amazon Warriors have the better chance in this contest based on their overall squad.
We are backing Guyana Amazon Warriors as the winners of this contest.
