BR vs TKR Dream11 Prediction: Barbados Royals will enter their clash against Trinbago Knight Riders with high confidence in the 15th match of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 season. The game is set to begin at 04:30 AM (IST) on Saturday, September 14, 2024.
Barbados Royals, alongside Guyana Amazon Warriors, are the only teams maintaining a perfect record in CPL 2024. They have won all three of their matches so far but sit second on the table due to a slightly inferior net run rate compared to the Warriors. A win here would propel them to the top of the standings.
In their last outing, the Royals secured a rain-affected victory over Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. Despite a rocky start with opener Rahkeem Cornwall dismissed for a duck (0 off 7 balls), Quinton de Kock (48 off 30) and Alick Athanaze (34 off 29) steadied the innings with a crucial 72-run partnership off 52 balls. When rain interrupted play, the Royals were already 10 runs ahead on the DLS method, sealing the win.
Antigua & Barbuda Falcons were unfortunate as a full chase might have posed a tougher challenge for the Royals, especially with de Kock and Athanaze back in the pavilion. Still, there’s no changing the result, and the Falcons must now focus on their upcoming challenges. They currently sit second from the bottom of the table, with just two wins from seven matches, which is cause for concern.
Trinbago Knight Riders have also made a good start to the season. They have won twice in three matches leading up to this game. What’s fascinating is that, although, they are fourth on the table, they can move to the very top of the table with a win in this game. So there’s plenty riding on this game for both teams.

BR vs TKR Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report: In the last match played at the Kensington Oval Barbados, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons batted first and posted a challenging 176/5 in 20 overs. But Barbados Royals were always ahead of the required run rate during the chase and when rain came pouring down, Barbados were 10 runs head of the DLS target. The pitch at this venue is a balanced one where bowlers and batsmen both can have phases where they might be on the top of the game. Any score between 170-180 runs can be considered a challenging first innings total.

- Maximum Temperature: 32°C
