ABF vs BR Probable Winners:

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will be hoping to quickly get back on track following their crushing defeat in the season opener. They will, however, face the Barbados Royals, whom they have yet to defeat in the Caribbean Premier League. Furthermore, the Royals' squad has more firepower and appears to be much more balanced overall than the Falcons. Unless the Falcons bring their best game, particularly their bowlers, we believe the Royals will win this one. Considering the team combination, Barbados Royals is expected to win this match.
