BR vs ABF Betting Tips
Quinton de Kock to score Under 23.5 runs
Quinton de Kock hasnāt been in the best of form recently. He has been unable to cross the 20-run mark in any of his last 3 innings. As a result, we are predicting another poor outing for him.
Total runs in the highest scoring over of the match Under 19.5
The batting from both teams hasnāt been the best this season. Judging by the way the previous match played here unfolded, we reckon that the batsmen will have to be careful on this surface, and we are unlikely to see a big over.

BR vs ABF Team Previews
Barbados Royals
The Barbados Royalsā woes seem to have no end this season. Half way through their group stage, the team is yet to register a win and is languishing at the bottom of the points table.
The Barbados Royalsā latest loss came on Thursday as they were defeated by the Guyana Amazon Warriors in a last-over thriller. The opening pair of Quinton de Kock and Brandon King has been rather inconsistent so far, with both of them averaging under 25 runs per inning.
Rovman Powell has been the best batsman for the team with 153 runs. He has scored two half-centuries, including one in the previous match, and remains the key for Barbados. Rassie van der Dussen, who is back in the CPL after a hiatus of 7 years, played a solid knock of 45 runs.
However, the others in the middle order, including Kadeem Allyene and Sherfane Rutherford, have struggled. The bowling from Barbados has been rather inconsistent as well. The new-ball pair of Ramon Simmonds and Eathan Bosch has managed to pick only 10 wickets so far.
Jomel Warrican, who is the only specialist spinner, has struggled too.
Barbados Royals Expected Playing 11

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons have been rather inconsistent this year, winning only three of the 8 matches played so far. They are currently placed third on the points table and will hope to win here to further cement its place in the top-four.
The batting has been one of the biggest weaknesses for Antigua this season. Jewel Andrew has struggled at the top of the order and is averaging under 25 runs after playing 7 matches. His strike rate is very ordinary as well. He was joined by Amir Jangoo in the previous match. He looked in fine form, scoring a brisk half-century, and will hope to give the team a solid start.
Karima Gore has appeared solid in the middle order, scoring three half-centuries. However, the others, including Shakib Al-Hasan, Imad Wasim, and Fabian Allen, have been rather inconsistent with the bat.
Regarding bowling, Obed McCoy is the leading wicket-taker for the team with 8 wickets and will be supported by Jayden Seales, who has 6 wickets to his name. The spin department appears a bit weak, with only Shakib Al-Hasan doing some damage during the middle overs.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Expected Playing 11
Amir Jangoo, Jewel Andrew (WK), Karima Gore, Imad Wasim (C), Shakib Al-Hasan, Fabian Allen, Obed McCoy, Jayden Seales, Andries Gous, Usama Mir, Odean Smith
BR vs ABF Toss Prediction
The team winning the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The surface at Barbados is likely to have an even covering of grass, allowing the quicker bowlers to extract some movement off the seam. The batsmen need to be careful during the Powerplay and wait for the right deliveries to play their shots. However, once the batsmen settle down, they can play with confidence.
The surface does get slightly better to bat on during the second half, but anything over 170-180 will be tricky to chase. The weather is likely to remain warm and humid with temperatures around 28 degrees.
BR vs ABF: Who Will Win?
We are backing Antigua and Barbuda Falcons to win this match. While not in the best of forms, they have played better, especially compared to Barbados. Also, Antigua has a couple of good all-rounders who give them an edge.
