Pitch and Weather Report

Kensington Oval in Barbados will be the ground for the 18th match of the Caribbean T20 League 2024. The pitch here is balanced for both the batters and bowlers. Yet, the surface is typically on the slower side which brings the spinners into play. The average first innings score on this venue is 160 runs, hence anything over that would be quite competitive on this ground.

The weather in Bridgetown will witness scattered rainfall with a high of 27 degrees Celsius on the matchday.

Match Prediction

SKN have not been in their best form this season. Their bowling attack has not executed their plans so far and they need some strong show from their bowlers to win the game. BAR, on the other side, will enter the match with a strong batting and bowling lineup. So, based on their present form, we fancy the Barbados Royals to win this game.
