SAINT LUCIA KINGS FORM: KINGS ON THE BACK OF CONSECUTIVE WINS
Saint Lucia Kings are in a good spot after six games played, winning four and losing two. Victory here would move them level on points with their league leading opponents. Most recently, Saint Lucia Kings brushed aside Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, winning by 26 runs.
BARBADOS ROYALS FORM: PATRIOTS THRASHING BUMPS UP ROYALS’ NET-RUN-RATE
Barbados Royals backed up their 32-run victory over Guyana Amazon Warriors by crushing St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. Bowling first, the Royals bowled out their opponents for just 110 and went on to reach their victory target in just 11.2 overs with just one wicket down.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS BETTING ANALYSIS
Saint Lucia Kings will have been delighted with the performance of local player Khary Pierre last time out against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, even if they were ultimately beaten. Pierre’s slow-left-arm spin bowling accounted for three Falcons wickets and shows that even if he is targeted by the opposition, Pierre can use that in his favour. Back him to accumulate another 2+ wickets vs the Royals.
BARBADOS ROYALS BETTING ANALYSIS
Quinton de Kock’s magnificent form continues for the Royals with their South African wicket-keeper-batter having now racked up 174 runs across his last two innings. Bowlers seem to have no answer for De Kock at the moment and it would be no surprise if another big score is on the horizon here in Guyana. Therefore, back De Kock to rack up over 28.5 match runs.
SAINT LUCIA KINGS VS BARBADOS ROYALS EXPERT PREDICTION
Barbados Royals won’t want to give up any ground in the table, especially to a club who could yet finish above the Royals. However, Saint Lucia Kings lack the consistency of Barbados and with players such as De Kock at their disposal, the Kings boast that extra layer of firepower in this format of the game. Back Barbados Royals to further establish their advantage as league leaders.
