Hero CPL 2020 - BAR vs SKN Fantasy Preview

They called the Caribbean Premier League the biggest party in sport and we don’t disagree with that title. With the whole Covid-19 situation in our faces, we’re finally back with the first major T20 professional league and that’s the 2020 Hero CPL T20, where 6 teams will battle it out in this eighth edition of the CPL T20 in the Caribbean Islands. On the opening day, the defending champs Barbados Tridents will also be in action!

They play Match 2 of CPL 2020 where they’re up against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots, the latter clear underdogs for this encounter. Prior to this, it’s Trinbago Knight Riders vs Guyana Warriors, at the same ground in Tarouba where the first few games of CPL 2020 will be played, so you can see the result of the first game for some reference.

Numbers

Hayden Walsh Jr – 22 wickets in just 9 games in CPL 2019.
Johnson Charles – 415 runs in 13 games at CPL 2019.

Barbados Tridents

It’s going to be a trial by spin for any of this team’s opponents – leg-spin to be precise. They have Hayden Walsh Jr who ended as the top wicket-taker in CPL 2019 by a long way which bought him a ticket into the West Indies national side as well. Apart from him, they have Afghan spin wizard Rashid Khan who is super important to any side, especially with his batting improving now too. In the spin department, they also have Ashley Nurse and Mitchell Santner.

At the top of the batting order, there’s Johnson Charles who was their only player to score 400+ runs last season and we’re picking him, with his national side experience also being an important factor. And of course, the side has Jason Holder who is the number #1 all-rounder in the world in the Test cricket format and we expect him to be able to be equally important for this BAR vs SKN fantasy team too!

St Kitts & Nevis Patriots

In CPL 2019, not a single St Kitts batsman got 300+ runs, so they’ve gone on to increase the batting strength with the likes of Chris Lynn and Ben Dunk coming in to the squad. While Dunk is slightly on the older side now, there’s no question of how destructive Lynn can be on his day. Apart from him, West Indian opener Evin Lewis will be hoping for a better season too, with four 40+ scores in his last six international games.

Joshua de Silva could be your wicket-keeper pick, someone who has great domestic scores of late and was recently picked in the Test squad for the England tour as well. Someone who has been the leading West Indian wicket-taker over the last couple of years and shouldn’t be left out of your BatBall11 (Use code “READ123“) fantasy team is Sheldon Cottrell who bagged 12 scalps in 8 games in CPL 2019 too.
