Barbados Tridents v St Lucia Zouks – Team News

Barbados and St Lucia need to extract the most out of their Afghanistan stars. Rashid Khan and Mohammad Nabi will likely head home for some domestic cricket prior to the Indian Premier League, if they haven’t already.

The Tridents have decent run-scorers in Kyle Mayers, Johnson Charles and Jason, Holder, but would appreciate stronger support from Shai Hope and Corey Anderson.

Their bowling, as usual, can rely on the spin of Mitchell Santner and Rashid. Holder’s role as an opening bowler, too, remains important.

Roston Chase and Nabi have been excellent with the bat for the Zouks. They really wouldn’t mind seeing more runs from local heroes Mark Deyal and Rahkeem Cornwall, who have been a bit flat.

Chase, Nabi and Cornwall have been solid with the ball, exploiting conditions conducive to spin well. New Zealand seamer Scott Kuggeleijn bowled a rare T20 maiden recently.

Kuggeleijn and fellow Zouks seamer Kesrick Williams are among the best bowlers in the CPL 2020 at the moment.

Barbados Tridents v St Lucia Zouks – Betting Tips and Prediction

Reference these CPL betting tips about individual players and overall scores. They could put you in a stronger position for your bets.

Pick the Zouks to Have the Highest Powerplay Score

With Andre Fletcher and Rahkeem Cornwall likely to open the batting, the Zouks have the attributes to get off to a flyer inside the opening six-over powerplay.

The Tridents play a bit more cautiously at the start, trying to keep wickets in hand for the chase through the middle and end of the innings. Betway have St Lucia priced at 1.95 to have the most runs inside the first six overs.

Bet on Holder to be the Top Bowler for Barbados

Captain Jason Holder has been excellent with the new ball for the Tridents. He has been economical and made key breakthroughs.

Like fellow West Indian stars Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo, Holder concentrates on threatening lines and lengths, rather than outright pace. This has worked well in these conditions.

He has taken two wickets in each of Barbados’ last couple of matches. Bodog India’s price of 7.0 for Holder to be Barbados’ top bowler in this match offer really good value.

Choose Khan for an Good All-Round Performance

We’ll see Rashid Khan in the Indian Premier League next month. For now, he remains highly involved in the CPL. He’s the type of cricketer who is always in the contest, with bat, ball and in the field.

The accumulator outcomes 22Bet have on offer are excellent. They have Rashid priced at 4.46 to hit a six, take a catch and a wicket – in no particular order.
