Caribbean Premier League Tips Games 15 and 16: Barbados take some beating

Trinbago Knight Riders v Barbados Royals
Wednesday 14 September, 00:00
TV: Live on BT Sports

Team news

How long can TKJR persist with Sunil Narine at the top of the order? They need power hitters like Kieron Pollard and Andre Russell in as soon as possible. Theekshana should be available after the Asia Cup.

Possible XI: Webster, Narine, Munro, Seifert, Pooran, Russell, Pollard, , Rampaul, Dupavillon, Theekshana, Lewis

Royals are tournament favourites having won all five matches so far. They beat the Tallawahs last time out.
Probable XI: Mayers, De Kock, Bosch, Miller, Azam, Holder, Thomas, Walsh, McCoy, O Thomas, Bishop

Pitch report

It's a change of venue with a four-game chunk now from the Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain. There were ten games in 2020. Eight saw first-innings scores of under 150. Seven of those matches were won by the chaser. It's an unders play to start off with. Bet the market here.

How to play

Does someone know something we don't? Trinbago are 1.865/6 favourites with runaway leaders Royals 2.206/5. It's pricing which makes no sense whatsoever. Royals are value. Bet the match odds here.

Tops value

A potentially tricky pitch makes for lower-order winners so Russell and Pollard appeal at 15/2 and 8/1 respectively. Quinton De Kock is boosted to 3/1 for Royals but Kyle Mayers is the man in form at the same price. Bet the Sportsbook odds here.

Jamaica Tallawahs v St Kitts & Nevis Patriots
Wednesday 14 September, 15.00
TV: Live on BT Sports

Team news

Tallawahs are doing nicely considering they were awful last term. A play-off spot is almost secured. Brandon King has been hitting it well up front.

Possible XI: King, K Lewis, Jangoo, Powell, Reifer, Allen, Imad, Green, Pretorius, James, Amir

Patriots, the holders, have only one win. Their batting has misfired - a major problem for a team which has always been pricey in the field. Rashid Khan might help solve that.

Probable XI: Fletcher, Lewis, Brevis, Darren Bravo, Rutherford, D Pretorius, Rashid, D Jansen, Cottrell, Dananjaya, Carmichael

Pitch report

As above for TKR versus Royals. A slow or tacky pitch would be another disaster for Patriots who need a flat surface. They are an unders wager at 130 and 140 for cheap lays.

How to play

Tallawahs are 1.774/5 and that looks like a fair wager. Patriots should be chunkier than 2.206/5 given the form of the two teams, Rashid Khan or not. Bet the odds here.

Tops value

We go searching for big numbers in the lower order again but there are slim pickings. Fabian Allen a possibility at 9s for top Tallawah? Or Dwaine Pretorius at 11s for top Patriot. Both could be in-play options at twice the price. Bet the Sportsbook markets here.
