Barbados Royals have won the toss and have opted to bat

08:45 Local Time, 12:45 GMT, 18:15 IST: The race for the playoffs is heating up in the CPL and to that end, the Barbados Royals have been nearly flawless and have already made it through with 4 games still to go. They’ve won 5 out of their 6 games and while they’ve already booked their playoff spot, they’ll want to ensure they finish within the top two. The St. Lucia Kings have done pretty well for themselves too by winning 4 out of their 6 matches but they’re part of a stiff mid-table traffic jam. They’ve also got the worst NRR amongst the other two teams sitting on 8 points so they’ll be keen to get a big win tonight to consolidate their position. Just the second game here in Guyana and the first game that was played just last night was a low-scoring affair. We’ll have to wait and see what conditions will be on offer today. Stay tuned.
