ABF vs BR Dream11 Prediction Today | Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report – 3rd Match, CPL 2025

Match Preview

Barbados Royals finished managed to make it to the playoffs last season but weren’t able to make it to the finals. Nevertheless, they will put that disappointment behind them and make a positive start here.

Their squad has seen some churn as they have lost a couple of their key players like Jason Holder and Alick Athanaze. Nevertheless, the team will bank on its strong batting line-up to take them to a match-winning score.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons didn’t get the start they would have expected; nonetheless, they have a strong squad at their disposal, particularly when it comes to the all-rounders. However, their record against Barbados is far from ideal.
