CPL 2019: BAR vs SLZ - A must-win clash for the Zouks

CPL 2019: BAR vs SLZ - A must-win clash for the Zouks

Match Details:

Series/tournament: Caribbean Premier League

Venue: Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

Date: September 30, 2019

Time: 3:30 a.m. IST

Preview: 

The St Lucia Zouks will hit the road on Sunday to lock horns with the Barbados Tridents in a must-win clash at the Kensington Oval in Bridgetown. This is the last league game for the visitors who are placed at fourth in the league table at the moment. However, they need a win to stay alive in the contest provided Barbados go on to lose at least two of their remaining three matches. The hosts, on the other hand, are better placed to qualify at the moment and a win in this match will only confirm that. Moreover, the arrival of overseas recruits like Harry Gurney and Shakib Al Hasan have boosted their chances of qualification further.

Weather Conditions: 

No rain has been forecast for the day with the temperature hovering around 26-30 degrees. Dew might turn out to be a crucial factor in the match.

Pitch Conditions: 

This might look like a tricky track to bat on initially but scored of 160-170 is easily achievable if batsmen bide their time and apply themselves a little.

Probable Playing XIs:

Barbados Tridents

Alex Hales, Johnson Charles (wk), Jonathan Carter, JP Duminy, Shakib Al Hasan, Ashley Nurse, Jason Holder (c), Harry Gurney, Hayden Walsh, Raymon Reifer, Roshon Primus

St Lucia Zouks

Andre Fletcher (wk), Rakheem Cornwall, Colin Ingram, Colin de Grandhomme, Darren Sammy (c),

Top Picks

Jason Holder (9.5 cr):

He has been fabulous form for the Tridents with both bat and ball. Holder has been coming up with 50-plus point hauls regularly.

Shakib Al Hasan (9.5 cr):

Al Hasan just arrived to play for the Tridents. Shakib was in good form during the Tri-Series involving Bangladesh, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe and, hence, he is expected to carry that form forward into this tournament.

Rahkeem Cornwall (9.5 cr):

Cornwall scored a fifty in the last match for the Zouks. Cornwall has been regularly contributing with the ball and with the bat at the top of the order as well.

Captaincy Options (in order of priority): Jason Holder, Rahkeem Cornwall
