BARBADOS ROYALS FORM: ROYALS REMAIN THE BENCHMARK IN 2024
Barbados Royals have been excellent in all departments across the tournament so far and will want to finish the league stage strongly with the play-offs beginning to come into sight. Their latest triumph came against Guyana Amazon Warriors this past weekend, a match which saw Quinton de Kock hit a brilliant hundred in victory.
ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS FORM: ROOTED TO THE BOTTOM
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are now the only team yet to pick up two wins in this year’s competition and that sees them stuck at the bottom of the table as a result with just two points to their name. Confidence is scarce among the squad, who have found it difficult with bat and ball, losing six from seven games played so far.
BARBADOS ROYALS BETTING ANALYSIS
It would be remiss not to focus on Quinton de Kock when it comes to potential betting value when considering his sparkling form across the tournament. The South African’s century vs Guyana took him top of the run-scoring charts with 308 accumulated in five innings now at an average of 77.00. Such numbers cannot be ignored, so back De Kock to finish this match as Barbados Royals’ top batter.
ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS BETTING ANALYSIS
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots may not have enjoyed the same positive results as Barbados, but like the Royals, it’s a South African player who has starred for the Patriots. Fast bowler Anrich Nortje boasts 11 wickets over the course of the tournament so far and if anyone has the quality to break through Barbados’ batting order, it would be him. Therefore, consider backing Nortje to take over 1.5 match wickets here.
BARBADOS ROYALS VS ST KITTS AND NEVIS PATRIOTS EXPERT PREDICTION
The expectation is that Barbados Royals will dominate this contest whether they be setting or chasing a target. Their batters are more than capable of getting on top of a struggling bowling attack, whilst with the ball, Barbados are likely to find a way of fashioning early wickets to put them in the ascendancy. Provided the weather holds out, any outcome other than a Royals victory would be a surprise.
