St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots started the tournament with a loss against Jamaica Tallawahs. The defending champions were completely outplayed by the Tallawahs in the match. Bowling first, the Patriots were hammered by Brandon King (89), Kennar Lewis (48) and Rovman Powell (30) who took the team to a strong 183-2, and later their batters surrendered in front of Tallawahs bowlers as the team could only manage 136-8, losing by 47 runs. This was a disappointing performance from the Patriots who have a strong team on paper.
Meanwhile, Barbados Royals finished sixth in last season. They will be hoping for a turnaround in the current season. With players like Quinton de Kock, David Miller, Kyle Mayers, Devon Thomas, and Jason Holder, they have a strong team, however, a couple of players like Miller and De Kock might miss the first game as they recently played in the Hundred and there is no clear update if they have joined the team or not.
The wicket was a good one to bat in the first match of the tournament as Jamaica posted a strong score of over 180. It’s a true wicket that has consistent pace and bounce but as the ball gets soft and the wicket gets slow, it will become slightly tough to get the timing right.
The weather will be slightly cloudy but the chances of rain are as low as 20 per cent. The temperature will range between 31 to 26 degrees.
Evin Lewis, Andre Fletcher (wk), Darren Bravo, Dewald Brevis, Sherfane Rutherford, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo (c), Duan Jansen, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Akila Dananjaya, Jaden Carmichael
Quinton de Kock, Rakheem Cornwall, Kyle Mayers, Azam Khan, David Miller, Devon Thomas, Jason Holder, Hayden Walsh, Corbin Bosch, Obed McCoy, Oshane Thomas
We are not sure about the availability of a few players like Miller and De Kock for Barbados who featured in the Hundred recently. But their matches are done so we are assuming that they may have joined the team thus we have kept them in the playing 11. Mujeeb, however, won’t be there for Barbados as he is with the Afghanistan team for Asia Cup. Patriots are likely to play the same team.
SKN has a great record against the Barbados Royals in the history of the CPL.

Evin Lewis had a bad game against Jamaica Tallawahs but we need to pick players on their match-winning abilities. Lewis is a player who will singlehandedly win a game for his team and a bad game should not affect his stature as a match winner. He is a good player to have in the team.
Brevis too had a poor outing against Jamaica. But like Lewis, he has also a match winner for his team. Brevis has had some brilliant performances in recent times and a failure will not affect his confidence. He will be keen to do well in the coming game.
David Miller had a poor tournament with the bat in the hundred but he will be confident of doing well in T20s as he is a specialist in this format of the game. He was in stellar form in IPL and T20I cricket for England before playing the Hundred. He will be eyeing to regain his form in the CPL.
Bravo also looked rusty against Jamaica but given the skills he possesses, we need to back him. He is a wonderful bowler in this format and we are confident that he will bounce back well in the coming game. Also, it was nice to see him bat up the order in the last game as this gives him an opportunity to score some runs as well.
Jason Holder is a brilliant cricketer in the T20s. He is a proper bowler and a very handy batter down the order. He is a valuable fantasy pick.
