St Lucia Stars Team News & Playing 11
They struggled with the bat in both the games and only Andre Fletcher, of all the batsmen, has looked somewhat promising with scores of 26 and 40. While the Stars will want him score even bigger against the Tridents, they will also want Johnson Charles to contribute at the top. Shane Shillingford shone with the ball in the last game against Trinbago Knight Riders. The offspinner claimed a four-wicket haul which makes him the bowler to watch out for.

Barbados Tridents Team News & Playing 11
Skipper Kieron Pollard blitzed 62 runs off just 33 deliveries in the last match against Jamaica Tallawahs. The big West Indian is a very dangerous batsman in this format of the game and he therefore is the key man for the Tridents. Wahab Riaz was the pick of the bowlers in that match picking up three wickets while not conceding too many off his four overs. The team will back the Pakistani seamer to replicate that performance against the Stars.

St Lucia vs Barbados Prediction
St Lucia Stars will be playing on their home ground and they have won three of their last five matches here. This includes a 7-wicket win over Barbados Tridents in the previous season which is something that will make them more optimistic going into this game. However, the Tridents have a superior record against the Stars, beating them six times in their previous eight attempts. Moreover, the defeats in their first two matches has put a lot of pressure on the hosts which is one of the reasons why we feel the Tridents have a better chance to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Barbados Tridents to beat St Lucia Stars at 1.62 with 1xbet and 1.72 with Bet365.
