CPL 2021 Match 14: SKN vs BAR Dream11 Prediction & Fan2Play Possible Playing 11 Pitch Report | SKN vs BAR Dream11 Prediction Today | St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Key Players | St Kitts Pitch Report
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots can do no wrong at the moment. The Dwayne Bravo-led unit is yet to drop a game in CPL 2021, having won four on the bounce. They come in to this game on the back of a six-wicket-win over Jamaica Tallawahs where they successfully chased down 167 thanks to a yet another unbeaten half-century by Sherfane Rutherford (50* off 26 balls) and a whirlwind cameo by Fabian Allen (30* off 12 balls).
They will lock horns with Barbados Royals, who are in the midst of a forgettable campaign, having lost three of their first four fixtures. The Royals will come in this game after having suffered a six-wicket defeat against Jamaica in their previous outing.
This will be the second meeting between these two sides in CPL 2021. The first clash was won by St Kitts thanks to a brilliant 115-run-stand between Sherfane Rutherford and DJ Bravo and a brilliant all-round performance by the bowlers, led by Dominic Drakes’ 2/13.
Will St Kitts continue their batting juggernaut or will Barbados Royals pull one back?
