Perennial under-achievers St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and Barbados Tridents will look to recover from opening losses and put their campaign back on track when they clash in a Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match. Laggards last season, St Kitts and Barbados had hoped for a positive start but both the teams suffered contrasting defeats in their first match of CPL at the hands of Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders respectively. But the win against St Lucia Zouks in the previous match will give confidence to St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. While St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have had mixed fortunes on their plate, winning one match and losing 2 games, Barbados Tridents have had one loss in the single match they played till now.

Best economical pick – An upcoming and destructive left-handed opening batsman Evin Lewis who idolized the Caribbean superstar Chris Gayle has played an amazing innings of 73 off just 36 balls against St Lucia Zouks which give St Kitts and Nevis Patriots the first win of this season.
Top captains & vice captains – Mr. Awesome, Mr 360 or Superman whatever you call him, AB de Villiers probably the best batsman of this era. You can choose him as your captain without any hesitation. Trinidad’s Kieron Pollard is an absolute entertainer. This big-hitting batsman, capable of clearing most cricket grounds. Though he failed in the first match you can trade him as your vice-captain.
Smart pick – The No. 1 bowler in ICC T20I rankings Samuel Badree had a great comeback in this tournament. Badree bowled a match winning spell of 4-0-22-2 in a high scoring match against St Lucia Zouks in the previous match.
Cautions Pick – The South African all-rounder Wayne Parnell can surprise you with his performance in any day. He can take few wickets and can be very expensive in any day. So trade him in your fantasy team at your own risk.
CricBattle XI – AB de Villiers (c), Kieron Pollard (vc), Evin Lewis, Samuel Badree, Kyle Hope, Tabraiz Shamsi, Akeal Hosein, Devon Thomas, Carlos Brathwaite, David Wiese, Lendl Simmons
