Barbados Royals Preview

Barbados Royals batting unit is struggling to build partnerships and they are yet to register a 50-run partnership in the 2 matches so far. Shai Hope (64 runs), Azam Khan (58 runs), and Glenn Philips (29 runs) have scored runs with the bat with little cameos so far. Their top order and lower middle order must stand up with the bat in this match to help them post a big score.  

Mohammed Amir and Oshane Thomas have been their chief wicket-takers with 4 wickets each. Thisara Perera, Hayden Walsh, Ashley Nurse, and Kyle Mayers are leaking runs with the ball and they need to tighten their screws with the ball.

Top players to bet on:

Gleenn Philips – Philips has been one of impressive players in the T20I circuit for the last 2 years and he is yet to make a big score in this season. We expect him to post a massive total in this match and make a comeback with the bat.

Oshane Thomas – Oshane Thomas has 4 wickets at an economy rate of 8.5 RPO with superb bowling figures of 3/22 & 1/14 in the 2 matches so far. He has been phenomenal with the ball in the 2 matches played so far.

Barbados Royals Predicted Playing XI:

Glenn Phillips, Johnson Charles, Shai Hope (wk), Jason Holder (c), Kyle Mayers, Azam Khan, Raymond Reifer, Ashley Nurse, Hayden Walsh, Mohammad Amir, Oshane Thomas

Barbados Royals Actual Playing XI:

Hayden Walsh, Johnson Charles, Mohammad Amir, Jason Holder, Raymon Reifer, Azam Khan, Thisara Perera, Shai Hope, Kyle Mayers, Oshane Thomas, Glenn Phillips
