Caribbean T20 League 

Match 2: BR vs SKN

Preview

Barbados Royals will lock horns with St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots at the Warner Park in the second match of the Caribbean T20 League. The Barbados unit had a disappointing outing in the last edition of the tournament. Last year they finished at 5th spot in the group stage and failed to qualify for the knockout round of the league. On the other St. Kitts and Nevis finished at the bottom of the table in the last edition with only three points to their name. After a disastrous 2020, they have included Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo to reinforce their side. Both sides had a poor run in the eight season and would be eager to kickstart their campaign with a win. While SKN have a power packed batting unit with the likes of Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis and Sherfane Rutherford in their ranks, BR possess a formidable fast bowling juggernaut. It would be interesting to see who edges past the other in this mouthwatering contest.

Pitch Report

Expect a belter of a track. The Warner Park deck has generally assisted the  batsmen and we can anticipate more of the same from today. Bowlers will find it challenging to bowl on this wicket. A surface good for batting under the lights makes up for a high scoring clash.

Match Prediction

SKN have T20 specialists in the form of Gayle, Lewis and Bopara in their squad. They hold ample experience in white ball cricket and in a crucial game like this one we expect them to deliver. Upcoming all rounder Sherfane Rutherford can also come in handy in this game. We predict the SKN as winners of this high octane clash.
