Fantasy Tips
Batsmen: Jhonson Charles and Glenn Phillips will be the main batsmen from Barbados Royals. Johnson Charles showed glimpses of his form in the last game and Glenn Phillips is the consistent performer for the Royals. Rovman Powell promoted himself in the batting order and also picked one wicket with the ball. He can be picked from Tallawahs.
Wicket-Keepers: Shai Hope will open for Barbados in this match and he is undoubtedly one of the best white-ball batsmen. Hope will also give points with his glove-work behind the wickets. Chandwick Walton can be picked as the second wicket-keeper in this match.
All-rounders: Andrew Russell got out earlier after scoring fifty in the opening game. Russell also takes wickets with the ball so he will give maximum points in fantasy XI. Jason Holder is an obvious pick from Barbados Royals due to his all-rounder abilities. Raymon Reifer was the top performer in the last head-to-head match so he can be picked as the third all-rounder.
Bowlers: Mohammad Amir has been so economical with his seam bowling and also taking at least one wicket in each match for the Royals. Oshane Thomas picked 4 wickets in three matches so far in CPL 2021. Migael Pretorius can be picked as the third bowling option in this match.
Captaincy Choices
Fantasy Team: Shai Hope, Chandwick Walton, Johnson Charles, Glenn Phillips, Rovman Powell, Andrew Russell(c) Jason Holder(VC), Raymon Reifer, Mohammad Amir, Oshane Thomas, Migael Pretorius.
Captain – Andrew Russell
Andrew Russell scored a match-winning fifty in the opening game for Jamaica and he will also contribute with the ball in the slog overs. So Russell will be the best player to captain in this match.
Vice-Captain – Jason Holder
Jason Holder is batting in middle order this season for the Royals and also taking at least a wicket in each match so he will be a good pick to vice-captain in this match.
