BR vs SNP Match Preview
The correct blend of batters, bowlers and all-rounders will make your team tough to compete against. Focus on players who can change the momentum of the game with either bat or ball or both facets of the game.
With 2301 runs, two centuries and 14 half-centuries for the St Kitts and Nevis franchise, Evin Lewis is the player to watch. His explosive batting can dictate the match's early momentum. Lewis has been a standout performer for the Patriots in previous seasons.
Anrich Nortje's bowling performance will be crucial, especially against a hard-hitting Barbados Royals batting lineup. With almost 180 wickets in T20 cricket, his ability to adapt to different match situations makes him a valuable asset.
South African Keshav Maharaj’s versatility and middle-phase spin-bowling skills make him a key player in restricting the Patriots’ middle-order batting. He will be a high-value Dream11 pick with 148 wickets in T20s.
Jason Holder’s experience and ability to swing the ball in the early overs will be crucial to curbing the efforts of the team from St Kitts and Nevis. The West Indian all-rounder has grabbed seven wickets in his five CPL 2024 matches.
The Barbados Royals will be looking to Quinton de Kock to anchor their batting. De Kock can quickly put the Patriots under pressure by accelerating the innings during the powerplay. He has amassed over 500 CPL runs. His ability to dominate from the outset makes him a crucial Dream11 pick.

Dream11 Prediction
While both teams have enough firepower to make this a thrilling contest, the Barbados Royals hold the edge due to their recent form and home-ground advantage.
Top Picks
Quinton de Kock: The wicketkeeper-batter is in great form and can dominate the game early with his powerful stroke-play. With seven T20 centuries and a T20 high score of 140 not out, de Kock is a safe bet for high Dream11 points.
Evin Lewis: Lewis’ aggressive approach will be central to his team's batting. His ability to clear the boundary with ease will be vital for the Patriots. The opening batter also has 1465 T20I runs for the West Indies.
Anrich Nortje: The right-arm fast bowler will be vital to disrupting the Royals' batters. His ability to pick up crucial wickets makes him a top choice. Nortje showed that ability with three wickets against the Falcons.
