1. Maheesh Theekshana
Sri Lankan spinner Maheesh Theekshana will likely make his CPL debut, and his bag of tricks makes him a threat with ball in Antigua.
2. David Miller
David Miller is a middle-order threat wherever he plays, and this will remain the case as he turns up for a strong Barbados Royals outfit in this competition.

VENUE AND PITCH
Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua has hosted two matches this CPL already, with both matches being won by the chasing team. Batters have been able to score freely but there have been plenty of wickets on offer. Expect the team which wins the toss to choose to chase again on this surface.
MATCH PREDICTION
Falcons’ poor start to the season won’t give them confidence, especially since both losses came in tight matches with narrow margins. Barbados Royals have plenty of firepower, and can make a leaky Antigua team pay. It should be another closely-fought contest at Sir Viv Richards Stadium, but Royals will be favourites by 65%.
