Preview:
Trinbago Knight Riders will take on Barbados Royals in the 4th match of the CPL 2021. Despite restricting Guyana Amazon Warriors for 142 runs, Trinbago Knight Riders messed up in the run-chase and lost the match in the 9 runs. None of their star players couldn’t match their standards, which cost them the match.
Barbados Royals, on the other hand, lost early wickets in the run-chase against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots and they couldn’t recover from that and eventually lost the match by 21 runs. Their batting unit looks fragile in the middle and that is the only area of concern for them.

Pitch Report:
It’s a good sporting wicket where both batters and bowlers will get equal opportunity to shine. It’s hard to go after the spinners on this track. It is a 170-180 kind of a track and batting first is a good option.

Top Picks for TKR vs BR Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Batsmen
Lendl Simmons needs to spend more time in the middle as he was dismissed cheaply early on the innings for 5 runs against Guyana Amazon Warriors. He is a big match player we can expect him to do well against Barbados Royals.
Glenn Phillips was exceptional in the T20 Blast, but failed to impress in the 1st match against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He will be dangerous once he finds his rhythm here in the Caribbean.
Top Picks – All-Rounders
Sunil Narine was brilliant with the ball in the 1st match against Guyana Amazon Warriors, where he picked up 2 wickets initially, and later on, scored 20 runs while opening the batting.
Jason Holder is batting higher up the order, which provides enough depth to Royals; batting. He went at 11.25 runs an over against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots with the ball and will aim to improve his economy rate in the next match.
Top Picks – Bowlers
Akeal Hosein bowled really well in the middle overs against Guyana Amazon Warriors. He picked up the important wickets of Brandon King and Mohammad Hafeez.
Oshane Thomas picked up the huge wickets of Devon Thomas, Chris Gayle and Asif Ali in his first match of the tournament. He will be a good buy for your fantasy teams.
Top Picks – Wicketkeepers
Shai Hope is the only batter from Barbados Royals who looked convincing against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He battled hard and scored 44 runs.

TKR vs BR Risky Captaincy Choices:
Kieron Pollard is a floater. He will come into bat according to the teams’ necessity. You can take and pick him as your fantasy team skipper.
Johnson Charles is a hit-or-miss cricketer, but when he gets going, no ground is big enough for him. He is a risky captaincy pick for your fantasy teams.
Player you should avoid:
Since Tim Seifert and Shai Hope are the front-line wicket-keeping options, it’s better to avoid Denesh Ramdin while picking your fantasy teams.
