Key Player Battles to Look Out For

Johnson Charles vs Mujeeb ur Rahman

Charles likes to aggressively attack spin bowlers during the powerplay, but Mujeeb's mystery spin can make life difficult by picking up early wickets.

Quinton de Kock vs Alzarri Joseph

You couldn't find a better contest than Pace against Class, with Joseph looking for raw speed and de Kock looking for timing and placement to push the Royals' innings forward.

Rovman Powell vs Tabraiz Shamsi

Powell is a big-time batter during the death overs of the innings, but Shamsi is a smart wrist spinner, and he can force Powell to mistime the ball.

David Wiese vs Ramon Simmonds

Wiese's finishing power against Simmonds' left-arm quality brand of pace during the death can ultimately decide who can wield the bat in those final overs.

Key Players

Saint Lucia Kings (SLK)

Johnson Charles—The explosive opener has the ability to take the game away from the opposition in the powerplay if he gets going. His aggressive intent will be fundamental in going after the Royals' pace attack.
David Wiese (C)—As captain and finisher and Knight when needed, with his big-hitting and death bowling it would not be as he has the ability
to finish matches in any situation, it makes him an important match winner.
Alzarri Joseph—The strike pacer in the Kings' line-up, with this raw pace and bounce, Joseph can capitalize on any early mistakes by the Royals' top order; he will look to claim a big wicket in the powerplay.
Tabraiz Shamsi—A world-class wrist spinner who is able to come into his own in the middle overs, Shamsi is an experienced spinner who is used to breaking partnerships in the middle.

Barbados Royals (BR)

Quinton de Kock (WK) – A proven T20 match winner, his characteristically aggressive power-hitting and experience will be extremely valuable in either creating a target or setting a target in a chase.
Rovman Powell (C)—The skipper has a clear talent for six-hitting and potentially winning the game on his own in the final overs.
Sherfane Rutherford – A destructive batsman who can turn a match on his own, Rutherford provides firepower to the middle order, which makes him a unique player in T20 leagues.
Mujeeb ur Rahman – A mystery spinner, Mujeeb's variations could be key with the Kings being aggressive batters.
