The playoffs of the CPL are about to begin on the 2nd of October and it will all start with the Eliminator between the Trinbago Knight Riders and the Barbados Royals who will play in a do or die match in the eliminator. These two teams will battle it out again this time to stay alive in the tournament and keep their chances alive in the tournament. Overall it will be another royal battle on display.
The last match between these two saw the Knights get the better of the Royals, but this will be the moment where the guys from Barbados will want to fight back against this team. We will be looking into the three players who could be the ones to cause trouble for Kieron Pollard and his boys in the upcoming match and this time we will dive into who they could be.
So, here are the top 3 Barbados Royals players to watch out for in the upcoming eliminator:
3. Maheesh Theekshana
Theekshana has been one of the most reliable spinners for the royals who can bowl in the powerplay as well. The Lanka mystery spinner has been one of their best bowlers in the tournament as well and on a turning track like Guyana he will surely cause a lot of problems for the batters. Theekshana already has 15 wickets this season and he will not mind adding more to that tally.
2. Jason Holder
Jason Holder is one of the most experienced individuals in the Barbados Royals team. Though the all rounder might not be having the tournament of a lifetime, skipper Rovman Powell will still be trusting him with both bat and ball when he is needed. Holder is a real asset to the side and this game will be a chance to prove his worth to his team. The former West Indian skipper will want to make the most of it in the eliminator.
1. Quinton De Kock
Quinton De Kock has been having a great CPL so far and he is currently the highest run getter in the league as well. The South African keeper batter will look to continue his great form especially in this eliminator. With 434 runs in his 10 matches at an average of 54.25 the T20 World Cup finalist will be looking to score some more runs in the playoffs and make sure he gets his team to another CPL title.
