Probably XI:
Barbados Royals :
Barbados Royals have shown some moments of brilliance, but they certainly haven’t been the most consistent team out there. Owing to that, they are languishing at the bottom of the points table and are going to finish there, regardless of the result of the upcoming match. As it stands currently, they have played nine matches and have won only four. Besides, they have a pretty terrible net run rate of -0.619, which anyway is not going to matter now.
The Royals’ last win came three matches ago wherein they defeated Guyana Amazon Warriors by a a massive margin of 45 runs. There batting looked wonderfully equipped in that match, but since then the Royals’ batting has failed miserably. Against the Knight Riders, they could muster a total of just 93 runs and then followed it up with a poor chase against St Lucia Kings.
Chasing a total of 170 in 19 overs against the Kings, Barbados Royals managed to score just 155 runs in total. Earlier, there bowlers conceded a few runs too many at the death and their batsmen were always under pressure to score quick runs. All in all, Barbados Royals have been far from their best in the competition, but they are more than capable of defeating any side on their day. If they are able to play to their potential, they’ll be a dangerous team to play against.
Likely XI: Jason Holder, GD Phillips, Kyle Mayers, Shai Hope, Johnson Charles, Jake Lintott, Thisara Perera, Nyeem Young, Mohammad Amir, Joshua Bishop, Hayden Walsh.

St Lucia Kings:
There couldn’t have been a more topsy-turvy campaign than St Lucia Kings have had. In the beginning of the competition, they were languishing at the bottom, but then on the back of some terrific wins, they climbed to the second spot. Now, with another run of rather unfavorable results, the Kings are placed at the fourth spot and are staring at an exit, if things do not go right for them hereon.
From a total of 9 matches played, the Royals have won five. However, their poor net run rate of -0.116, which could prove to be a deterrent if they are not able to win this match and Jamaica Tallawahs are able to win their match.
Overall, St Lucia Kings have done well in the tournament and they have the experience available in the bank to handle the pressure situations. Faf du Plessis is in terrific form at the moment and will hold the key for the Kings. If he plays well and gets ample support from the other players, Kings will be difficult to defeat in this upcoming match.
Likely XI: ADS Fletcher, Faf du Plessis, Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, Tim David, Kadeem Alleyne, D Wiese, Keemo Paul, Jeavor Royal, Alzarri Joseph, Wahab Riaz.
