Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Chance of Winning

Barbados Royals and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are in real danger of missing out on playoffs this season and if that happens it wouldn’t be a surprise for the neutrals. Both teams have had an underwhelming season and have failed to find any form and consistency in this tournament thus far. Both sides have played more games than other teams and looking at their current form it's only fitting that they occupy fifth and sixth spots on the table. As per our calculation, Barbados Royals are slight favourites as they head into this fixture.

Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Barbados Royals have struggled to get a good start in games and only once have they registered an opening partnership in double digits. So far this season they have managed an opening stand of 1, 58, 0, 6 and 1. On the other hand, even though SKN Patriots are about to be knocked out of the competition, their openers have been more reliable and we believe would have a better opening partnership than Barbados Royals in the upcoming fixture.

Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Betting Odds

Barbados Royals and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to score low in powerplay

One of the main reasons for SKN Patriots terrible form is the fact they have failed to capitalise in the powerplay overs. So far this season, SKN Patriots have failed to outscore their opponents in the first six overs as they average 46.6 runs but have conceded 57.6 runs in those games. On the other hand, Barbados Royals have also showcased sub-par performances in the powerplay averaging 45.4 and have conceded 52.4 runs. Only once have they managed to score more than 50 runs in powerplay overs. Which makes us believe both teams would falter in powerplay and would score low in the upcoming game.

Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Top Team Batters

Rahkeem Cornwall to be Barbados Royals’s top batter

Barbados Royals batsmen have underperformed in the last few games which makes this pick a tough call to make. Considering the fact they haven’t been a standout performer, Rakheem Cornwall have had some decent starts in the last couple of games and we believe it's just a matter of time before he converts this start into a big score which is why he is our top pick for the game.

Andre Fletcher to be St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’s top batter

We are going to stick by our pick once again as one game does not make one a bad player especially when the whole team collapsed against Guyana Amazon Warriors. Fletcher remains the most consistent batsman for his side and remains our top pick for the game.

Barbados Royals vs St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Top Team Bowlers

Jason Holder to be Barbados Royals’s top bowler

Jason Holder has been the shining light of what has been an underwhelming season thus far and is without doubt their best bowler in this campaign. With 10 wickets he is the leading wicket taker in the tournament and is our top pick for the upcoming game.

Oshane Thomas to be St Kitts and Nevis Patriots’s top bowler

Oshane Thomas is the shining light in what has been an abysmal season thus far. In the last game, Thomas ended up with 3/26 and is the top wicket taker for his side this term which makes him our top pick for the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Barbados Royals

Barbados Royals have had an inconsistent campaign so far as they failed to register back to back wins this season. With two wins thus far in six games, Barbados Royals are fifth on the table level on points with Jamaica Tallawahs and Trinbago Knight Riders. This would be a must win game for Barbados Royal if they aspire to make the playoff this season. Barbados Royals head into this game after a humbling by Saint Lucia Kings who won the game by 90 runs.

It's fair to say St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have had a torrid campaign thus far and even though mathematically they are still in the running to make the top four, It's hard to put your money on the team that has failed to win a single game in the first seven games. Every time you think things could not go any south, SKN Patriots tend to find a new low much like their diabolical batting display in the last game as they were bowled out for 88.

Considering the fact Barbados Royals have already registered a comprehensive victory in the reverse fixture it shouldn’t be a surprise that bookmakers have favoured Barbados Royals in this fixture. We believe Barbados Royals would bag a statement win and would keep their playoff alive.

• Barbados Royals to win @ 1.78 (PariMatch)
• St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win @ 1.97 (PariMatch)
