TEAMS PREVIEW

Barbados Royals Preview

Rovman Powell and his players have their backs against the wall. After a good start, the team has lost its form. They went down against the Trinbago Knight Riders in the last game by 30 runs. It was their fourth consecutive loss, and they had to make a turnaround against their stronger opponent. 

Quinton de Kock has been the tournament's best batsman and must do well at the top with Kadeem Alleyne. Kevin Wickham must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Alick Athanaze and Rovman Powell. David Miller and Jason Holder must add quick runs, as the top order has struggled in the last few games. 

Jason Holder and Maheesh Theekshana must strike early, as the Trinbago Knight Riders have the strongest batting lineup in the tournament. Naveen-ul-Haq and Keshav Maharaj will look to check the scoring rate in the middle overs. The team expects a good show in the supporting role from Ramon Simmonds and Powell.

Trinbago Knight Riders Preview

Kieron Pollard's team ended the league stage with an emphatic win over the defending champions, Guyana Amazon Warriors. The team will be confident heading into this contest after their batsmen and bowlers performed brilliantly in the 74-run win. They have enjoyed a great record against the Barbados Royals, and Pollard would like the players to take inspiration from past wins. 

Jason Roy has a key role at the top, and he must deliver a strong show with Shaqkere Parris. Nicholas Pooran scored 101 runs in the last game, and the team expects him to do well in the middle of the game, with Andre Russell and Kieron Pollard in the middle. Keacy Carty and Tim David are good hitters and make up a formidable batting lineup. 

The bowling attack did well against the Warriors, and the team will be happy with a similar show. Akeal Hosein is in form and will look to make early inroads with Nathan Edwards. Waqar Salamkheil and Terrance Hinds shared 6 wickets in the last game, and their spells are crucial. Russell, Pollard, and Tim David add variety to the attack.
