BR vs ABF 22nd Match Preview and Team Analysis
Barbados Royals
The Royals are rooted to the bottom of the table with no wins. Their batting lineup looks strong on paper, but performances from Quinton de Kock and Brandon King have been underwhelming. Rassie van der Dussen’s inclusion added stability in the middle order with a solid 45 in the last game, while skipper Rovman Powell remains their most reliable finisher.
Bowling has been inconsistent. Eathan Bosch (3/35) and Ramon Simmonds (2/27) impressed recently, but others like Daniel Sams and Chris Green have leaked runs. Unless their senior players step up, the Royals face another tough night.
Key Players: Rovman Powell, Rassie van der Dussen, Eathan Bosch
Predicted XI (BR): Quinton de Kock (wk), Brandon King, Kadeem Alleyne, Rassie van der Dussen, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell (c), Chris Green, Daniel Sams, Eathan Bosch, Jomel Warrican, Ramon Simmonds
Antigua Barbuda Falcons
The Falcons have been hot and cold this season. Their last outing saw Shakib Al Hasan (61 off 26) and Fabian Allen (38 off 17) produce explosive knocks, but their bowlers failed to defend 204 runs.
James Vince-led batting depth, with Amir Jangoo providing a solid start at the top, looks stronger than the Royals’. Skipper Imad Wasim also adds late-order hitting and control with the ball.
Bowling remains their worry. Jayden Seales, Usama Mir, and Salman Irshad have struggled in the last two games and need to deliver breakthroughs to avoid pressure.
Key Players: Shakib Al Hasan, Fabian Allen, Imad Wasim
Predicted XI (ABF): Jewel Andrew (wk), Amir Jangoo, Karima Gore, Andries Gous, Shakib Al Hasan, Imad Wasim (c), Fabian Allen, Odean Smith, Usama Mir, Jayden Seales, Salman Irshad
