CPL 2023 Predictions & Betting Tips

2022 Result: Winner
Captain:
Key Players: Brandon King, Imad Wasim, Mohammad Amir, Shamarh Brooks

Jamaica Tallawahs picked up 3rd CPL trophy in the 2022 edition. They finished at the 4 spot on the points table with 4 wins in 10 matches and then won the final by defeating Barbados Royals.

Rovman Powell led the Tallawahs to 3rd title last year and he will not be part of this team in the upcoming season. Shamarh Brooks and Brandon King will be leading the batting department. Brandon King smashed 422 runs and finished as the leading run scorer of the season in 2022. Shamarh Brooks scored 241 at an average of 40.16. Raymon Reifer will also strengthen the batting line-up.

As far as the bowling department is concerned, last year’s top bowlers Imad Wasim and Mohammad Amir will be part of the team once again. Wasim was the leading wicket taker of the team with 17 wickets in 13 matches. All-rounder Fabian Allen was also pretty good with the ball last season. He picked 11 wickets in 13 matches.

2022 Result: 5th position
Captain:
Key Players: Andre Fletcher, Sherfane Rutherford, Sheldon Cottrell, Dewald Brevis

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots won the 2021 season but in the last edition, they did not play well and finished at the 5th spot with 3 wins only.

The batting line-up will be led by Andre Fletcher, Sherfane Rutherford and Evin Lewis. Fletcher was the leading run scorer for the Patriots in the last season with 229 runs in 8 matches. They were not up to the mark in the last season with the bat and only one batter scored 200+ runs.

This year the bowling department for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots look decent. Their key bowler Dwayne Bravo will not be part of the side anymore. Dominic Drakes and Sheldon Cottrell will take care of the pace attack while George Linde and Yannic Cariah will handle the spin department. Cariah looked in good touch lately in the home series against India.

2022 Result: Runner-up
Captain:
Key Players: Jason Holder, Rovman Powell, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy

Barbados Royals finished at the top of the points table last year, with 8 wins out of 10 matches. They lost the final to the Jamaica Tallawahs.

This year the Royals have roped in Rovman Powell, Maheesh Theekshana, Qais Ahmed, Alick Athanaze.

Rovman Powell smashed 281 runs in 13 matches last year and led Jamaica Tallawahs to title victory. He will be a key batsman in the Royals team this year along with Kyle Mayers. Mayers was the 2nd highest run scorer of the 2022 season, scoring 366 runs in 12 innings at a strike rate of 134.55.

Maheesh Theekshana will play few matches for the Royals this year but he might have to leave to be available for the Asia Cup 2023. Afghan cricketer Qais Ahmed will replace him in the team. Obed McCoy and Jason Holder will be the leading bowlers for the Royals. Holder picked 17 wickets in the last season while McCoy took 15 wickets.

2022 Result: 3rd position
Captain:
Key Players: Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis, Alzarri Joseph, Sikandar Raza

St Lucia Kings won 4 out of 10 matches in the league stage in 2022 and they finished at the 3rd spot on the table. Jamaica Tallawahs defeated the Kings in the Eliminator match.

Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis grabbed the 3rd and 4th spot on the list of leading run scorers of last season. They will be part of the Kings clan once again this year. The batting line-up will be beefed up by Zimbabwean players Sean Williams and Sikandar Raza.

In the bowling department, Roston Chase and Sikandar Raza will handle the spin attack while Alzarri Joseph will lead the pace. Joseph picked 18 wickets in the 2022 season and finished as the highest wicket taker of the season.

2022 Result: 6th position
Captain:
Key Players: Dwayne Bravo, Nicholas Pooran, Akeal Hosein, Sunil Narine

Trinbago Knight Riders is the most successful team in the CPL with 4 titles so far but things went south for them in the 2022 season. They finished at the bottom of the table with just 3 wins in 10 matches.

The TKR batting line-up for this season is undoubtedly one of the strongest among all teams. Pollard, Bravo, Russell will be seen together for the first time. Nicholas Pooran recently had a brilliant outing at the MLC 2023 smashing century in the final match. Martin Guptill and Rilee Rossouw will strengthen the batting line-up for TKR.

In the bowling department, spinners Akeal Hosein and Sunil Narine will partner once again after a decent performance last year. Hosein picked 9 wickets while Narine picked 11 in the CPL 2022. Afghanistan’s bowler Noor Ahmad will also feature in the TKR squad. He displayed his potential in the IPL this year.
