BARBADOS ROYALS FORM: ONLY NET-RUN-RATE SEPERATES PERFECT ROYALS FROM GUYANA
Barbados Royals are one of just two teams in the competition who still boast a 100% win ratio, having tasted victory in all three of their games played so far. Their most recent success came against a resurgent Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, which saw the Royals come out on top by 10 runs via the DLS method.
TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS FORM: KNIGHT RIDERS WELL PLACED FOLLOWING TWO WINS FROM THREE
Trinbago Knight Riders responded extremely well following defeat at the hands of Antigua & Barbuda Falcons by getting the better of Saint Lucia Kings by four wickets in a close game, which saw the depth of Trinbago’s batting come to the fore, as they chased down 188 with five balls remaining. With games in hand on the Kings, Trinbago are in a good position to break into the top three.
BARBADOS ROYALS BETTING ANALYSIS
Barbados Royals have been dealt a massive boost by the arrival of both big-hitting batter David Miller and spin-bowler Keshav Maharaj. The South African duo have joined the squad ahead of this game and should each be named in the Royals’ starting line-up. Miller in particular, be can a destructive force in franchise competitions when taking into account his boundary hitting abilities. Expect Miller to hit the ground running and take a look at backing him to record the most number of sixes for Barbados in this match.
TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS BETTING ANALYSIS
Trinbago Knight Riders can always rely on the consistency of Sunil Narine with the ball and the veteran spinner has been a steady banker across the tournament so far where wickets are concerned. A long-time Knight Riders servant, Narine averages two wickets per game in this latest campaign, but that won’t stop the Barbados batters from looking to attack him at every opportunity. With that in mind, back over 1.5 match wickets for Narine here.
BARBADOS ROYALS VS TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS EXPERT PREDICTION
This contest really could go either way when taking into account the international quality within both squads and potential match-winners whichever way you turn. Whilst Barbados Royals are unbeaten across the competition and boast home advantage here, Trinbago Knight Riders possess arguably the most dangerous weapon on show in wicket-keeper-batter Nicholas Pooran. A ground such as Bridgetown is perfectly set up for a player like Pooran to thrive and backing him to rack up 30+ runs may be the way to go.
BARBADOS ROYALS VS TRINBAGO KNIGHT RIDERS TOP TIP: NICHOLAS POORAN TO SCORE 30+ RUNS
