BR vs TKR Match Preview

More than half of the matches played in the CPL, 2022 so far have been affected by showers. Two of these games had to be called off. Not a single ball was bowled in these games. CPL now moves on to St. Lucia for the next set of games and this game is between Royals and Knight Riders. Both Trinbago and Barbados teams have good batting line-ups and they include some big-hitting batters in them.

Weather Report

The weather for this game is pretty much likely to remain the same as what it was at the first venue. You can expect a bit of drizzle coming down on the match day in St Lucia. 

Pitch Report

The wicket at the Gros Islet will offer assistance to the quicker bowlers but it is not a high-scoring pitch by any standards.

In the domestic T20 games this average first innings total is about the same. Just nine out of 27 T20 games played at the venue have witnessed a side scoring in the excess of 170 runs or above.

Dream11 Prediction

Kyle Mayers is the in-from player for the Barbados Royals and he should be the leader of the Dream11 team. Other players that can be a part of the dream11 team include Q. de Kock, K. Pollard, D. Miller, O. McCoy, J. Seales, A. Russell, etc. 

Top Picks

Kyle Mayers: The Barbados Royals opener Kyle Mayers has top scored for his side in both the matches they have played so far in the competition. This powerful southpaw is one of the top contenders to become the top scorer again in this match.

Nicholas Pooran: Nicholas Pooran is a terrific cricketer and has a strike rate of 142.36 in the T20 format. In his last appearance at this venue, he scored 91 not out in August. He is likely to be the highest run-getter for Trinbago Knight Riders.

Ravi Rampaul: Ravi Rampaul has been a consistent bowler in this format of the game. He has managed to pick up wickets right throughout his career and he is again expected to do well here.

Obed McCoy: In the last match he played Obed McCoy could bowl only a single over as the game was curtailed by showers. But this is a quality fast bowler and he is likely to be among wickets in this game.
