Having 10 points in their bag currently, Knight Riders have an excellent chance of finishing in the top 2. Sunil Narine who missed the game against Nevis Patriots is likely to be available for the game against Barbados Royals.

Probable Playing XI – Kadeem Alleyne, Quinton de Kock (wk), Rahkeem Cornwall, Alick Athanaze, Rovman Powell (c), David Miller, Jason Holder, Nyeem Young, Maheesh Theekshana, Keshav Maharaj, Obed McCoy.
Barbados Royals have lost their momentum, recording back-to-back defeats over St Lucia Kings, and remain in the top 3 of the standings. Despite a solid foundation set up by their openers Kadeem Alleyne (47) and Quinton de Kock (22), the rest failed to deliver their best, eventually, they fell short of the target (163) by 13 runs on Sunday.
This is a wake-up call for the Royals who are entirely dependent on Quinton de Kock who is having a dream run in CPL 2024, amassing 391 runs in 8 matches. Bowling has been their major strength with Maheesh Theekshana (9 wickets), Obed McCoy ( 9 wickets), Keshav Maharaj ( 7 wickets), Jason Holder (8 wickets), and Naveen ul Haq (7 wickets) all doing a fabulous job. The game against Knight Riders will be their last league game in CPL 2024 and wants to end on a high note ahead of the Playoffs.
