Trinbago Knight Riders v Barbados Royals – Team News

• Colin Munro – The powerful New Zealander only managed 13 in the opening clash and will be determined to add more runs here. It will be interesting to see if he stays at number three or is pushed up to open.
• Sunil Narine – The spin all-rounder opened in the last game for the Knight Riders and also took two wickets. He can make another big contribution.
• Kieron Pollard – The Trinbago skipper didn’t bowl in the last game and only made five with the bat. More can be expected this time around.
• Oshane Thomas – The 24-year-old pacer took three wickets in the opening fixture for the Royals. He can build on that against the Knight Riders.
• Shai Hope – The wicketkeeper-batsman has been in good form for the Windies this year and continued that with 44 in the last game.

Back Hope for Top Batsman

Shai Hope has been in good form for the West Indies this year, particularly in the ODIs against Sri Lanka.

There was a lot to like about his 38-ball 44 in the opening game and it is worth backing him to build on that in this fixture.

He is priced at 4.4 with 20Bet to be Barbados’ top batsman.

Glenn Phillips is the obvious danger to this bet but the opener fell early in the last game. It was feast or famine in the Hundred recently when he seemed to get a big score or get dismissed cheaply.

Hope at a bigger price is more appealing.

Seifert is Value

New Zealand wicket-keeper batsman Tim Seifert is capable of hitting big scores with his front-foot style.

He made a start against Guyana but fell for 23 when looking like he was about to go up a gear.

With Trinbago’s top order looking a little short of form, especially Lendl Simmons, it could pay to side with Seifert in the top Trinbago batsman market.

He is due a big score soon and his price of 5.5 with bet365 looks to have value.

Pollard to Get Under 27.5 Performance Points

Trinbago skipper Kieron Pollard didn’t bowl in the last game, which will make getting 28 points tough if repeated again.

He also came in at number seven in that opening fixture before being dismissed for just two runs.

Backing him to get under 27.5 performance points looks a decent bet at 1.83 with bet365.

Remember, he’d get 20 points for a wicket, one for each run, and 10 for a catch in the field.
