Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
Kieron Pollard has been their best batsman in this year's CPL. The skipper had blasted an unbeaten 83 off just 35 deliveries in the team's first encounter against St Lucia Stars earlier in the season and the Tridents will expect a similar performance from him this time as well. Wayne Parnell took three wickets in that game. The pace bowler has done a good job with the ball so far and it will be up to him to restrict the Stars at the Oval.

St Lucia Stars Team News & Playing 11
Johnson Charles hasn't contributed much since the last four games and this will put additional pressure on Andre Fletcher who is currently amongst the season's top five batsmen. The Stars however will be relieved to see Shane Watson back into the groove as he clubbed a 45-ball 80 in the last match against Jamaica Tallawahs. Shane Shillingford will be the key man in the team's bowling attack. The offspinner has taken the most wickets for the Stars - eight from as many matches.

Barbados vs St Lucia Betting Odds
St Lucia Stars are having a horrendous Caribbean Premier League season. They have not been able to register a single win out of the eight completed matches and the change of captaincy too hasn't brought a change in their fortunes. The Stars therefore continue to be the underdogs at 2.3 with Bet365. Bet365 has Barbados Tridents as favorites to win this match and is offering odds of 1.67 on them.
Barbados vs St Lucia Prediction
Barbados Tridents have won seven out of nine matches played against St Lucia Stars in the CPL which is something that will give them an upper hand going into this contest. They also beat the Stars convincingly the last time these two teams squared off at the Oval in 2016. The Tridents won the reverse fixture quite easily and the advantage of playing on their home ground will definitely tip the scales in their favor which is why we predict the hosts to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Barbados Tridents to beat St Lucia Stars in this 27th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2017 at 1.67 with Bet365.
