The wicket at this venue has been seen to favor the side batting first more in the recent games. Bowlers are now getting more help from the surface during the second period of play which could tempt the toss-winning captain in electing to bat first.

Vancouver Knights Team News & Playing 11
VCK Team News
Vancouver Knights replaced off-spinner Steven Jacobs with fast bowler Kamau Leverock in their last game against Montreal Tigers. The debutant did not get much to do with either bat or ball and he will probably be retained by the team for this upcoming encounter against Edmonton Royals.
VCK Key Players
Rassie van der Dussen who smashed an unbeaten 83 in the last game against Montreal Tigers is the tournament's leading run-getter and one of the key batsmen in the side. Evin Lewis and Andre Russell have both had a good hit as well. Chris Gayle, however, has scored just 21 runs from three games and the Knights will hope that he fires on Friday. Tim Southee, Fawad Ahmed and Sheldon Cottrell have all taken five wickets so far and these are the three bowlers that Vancouver Knights will rely on the most. Southee played a key role in the side's 18-run win against the Tigers and he is likely to cause problems for the Edmonton Royals.
VCK Recent Form
Vancouver Knights are currently placed third on the points table with two wins and one loss from three league matches. They have made a strong comeback after going down in the tournament opener against Toronto Nationals by six wickets, winning their next two matches against Winnipeg Hawks and Montreal Tigers respectively. After being put into bat in the previous game, the Knights posted 166 on the scoreboard and then bowled out the Tigers for 148 to win by 18 runs.

Edmonton Royals Team News & Playing 11
EDR Team News
Edmonton Royals don't have any injury issues ahead of this clash as all their players seem to be fully fit and ready to take on the Vancouver Knights. They played their last two games with the same bunch of eleven and we expect them to go in with an unchanged lineup for this game as well.
EDR Key Players
Openers Luke Ronchi and Andre Fletcher hold the key to the team's top-order batting while Kevin O'Brien is their biggest hope in the middle order. Ronchi has scored the most runs for Edmonton Royals so far in the tournament followed by Fletcher who has 81 runs from three games. Ronchi currently has a strike rate 183 and is coming off a well made 30 in the last game against Montreal Tigers. Wayne Parnell has been the pick of the bowlers with six wickets and he is going to be the main threat in this bowling attack. Hasan Khan has picked up five wickets and he will be the go-to man for the Royals when it comes to spin. Mohammad Irfan too seems to be in good rhythm and has an economy rate of under 6.
EDR Recent Form
Edmonton Royals have won one and lost two out of the three matches they have played so far and are currently fourth in the league standings with two points. They started off really well with an eight-wicket win over Toronto Nationals in their first game but then lost their way with consecutive defeats to the CWI B Team and Montreal Tigers. The Royals will be very disappointed with their batting performance in the last game against the Tigers as they got wrapped up for just 113.

Vancouver Knights vs Edmonton Royals Betting Odds
Vancouver Knights start off as the bookmakers' favorites to win this game at odds of 1.66 on Betway while Edmonton Royals are the underdogs at 2.10. The odds for both the teams to win this match, however, are tied at 1.55 on Betfair.
🏆 Vancouver Knights vs Edmonton Royals Prediction
Edmonton Royals are coming on the back of defeats in their last two matches against the Cricket West Indies B Team and Montreal Tigers. So there is going to be a lot more pressure on them as another defeat here will make it very difficult for them to progress through to the next round. They suffered a batting collapse last time and this is something that will make them worry ahead of this game. Vancouver Knights on the other hand are high on confidence after getting the better of Winnipeg Hawks and Montreal Tigers in their last two matches. Momentum too is going to be with them which is why we feel the scales are tipped slightly more in their favor.
Final Verdict: Back Vancouver Knights to beat Edmonton Royals at 1.66 on Betway.
