Teams have preferred to chase so far in the Global T20 Canada competition after winning the toss.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds and match prediction for Edmonton Royals vs CWI B Team - Global T20 Canada.
This will be Edmonton Royals’ first day-night match of the Global T20 Canada tournament, having opened their campaign against Toronto Nationals earlier the previous day.
Chris Lynn was supposed to be one of Edmonton Royals’ marquee players but he was denied a No Objection Certificate by Cricket Australia as a result of his ongoing shoulder injury – the same injury which ruled him out of the Pakistan Super League.
Captain Shahid Afridi’s Twenty20 record speaks for itself – 1,405 international runs and 97 wickets makes him one of six all-rounders to have scored 500 runs and taken 50 wickets in T20 internationals. He is the closest to the 1,000/100 mark too, but his retirement means he will not reach the milestone.
Luke Ronchi hit five half-centuries in his last seven matches for Islamabad United in the Pakistan Super League, meanwhile, including a man-of-the-match performance in the final in Karachi.
With the ball, South African Wayne Parnell has taken 41 wickets in 40 T20 internationals, and 167 in 171 games in his T20 career as a whole.
Edmonton Royals start their Global T20 Canada campaign against Toronto Nationals on the Saturday, before facing CWI B Team on the Sunday.

With the West Indies’ senior and ‘A’ teams on tour, Nicholas Pooran is the only player in the Cricket West Indies B Team squad who has played international cricket. The 22-year-old wicket-keeper has also had stints in the IPL with Mumbai Indians and Pakistan Super League with Islamabad United. The rest of the squad is filled with emerging West Indian talents from the various islands.
Alick Athanaze hit two centuries in the under-19 Cricket World Cup at the start of the year – finishing it as top scorer with 418.
Kavem Hodge played for the West Indies A team against England Lions in March following his performances with bat and ball for the Windward Islands.
Nicholas Pooran is the most experienced on the big stage in this squad, having been drafted by both Mumbai Indians and Islamabad United in past IPL and Pakistan Super League competitions.
The CWI B Team start with two day-night fixtures, facing Montreal Tigers on the Saturday before this fixture against Edmonton Royals on the Sunday.
Nicholas Pooran, Alick Athanaze, Kavem Hodge, Roland Cato, Justin Greaves, Derval Green, Anthony Bramble, Shamar Springer, Jeremiah Louis, Obed McCoy, Khary Pierre
While players like Alick Athanaze have proved they could be exciting additions to the CWI B Team squad, they are not expected to make an impact against the international superstars on show in the Global T20 Canada league. This is very much all about experience and exposure for the West Indian team, and Edmonton Royals should claim victory.
Final Verdict: Back Edmonton Royals to beat CWI B Team
