SKN vs BR Dream11 Prediction: St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be looking to snap a three-game losing skid when they take on the Barbados Royals in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 match at Warner Park, St Kitts. CPL 2024 Match No. 9 is scheduled to start at 04:30 AM (IST) on September 07, 2024.
The SKN Patriots have already lost three out of four games and are sitting at the bottom of the table heading into this game. Their current situation is alarming, as another defeat could potentially knock them out of the playoff race. This is a must-win game for the home team.
The Barbados Royals, on the other hand, have played only one game so far, which they won in remarkable fashion. Chasing 146 runs to win against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, Quinton de Kock took command and led his team to victory in just 15.3 overs.

TOP Picks For SKN vs BR Dream 11 Match
Captain Options:
- Quinton de Kock: The 31-year-old smashed 87 runs off just 45 balls in his first CPL 2024 appearance. He is a batsman of highest pedigree. The South African star should be considered either as a captain or vice-captain in Dream11 fantasy cricket teams.
- Evin Lewis: Surely, the 32-year-old is a batsman worth having in both grand league and small league teams. The former Mumbai Indians player scored a magnificent 100 off just 54 balls against Saint Lucia Kings.
- Andre Fletcher: He can be your first choice in the wicket-keeping department. SKN Patriots‘ captain smashed 81 runs off just 33 balls in the last match.
- Maheesh Theekshana: As the pitches in West Indies are dry, Maheesh Theekshana can weave his magic in his four overs. The 24-year-old had a magnificent ODI series against India, and also picked up two wickets in his first CPL 2024 appearance.
Vice-Captain Options:
- Kyle Myers: Consider Kyle Myers either as captain or vice-captain in your SKN vs BR Dream11 teams. In the last two games, the 31-year-old has scored a combined 120 runs to go with three wickets.
- Dunith Wellalage: The 21-year-old is fast becoming Sri Lanka’s go-to-man in white-ball format. He can surely bat but his main strength lies in the batting.
- Anrich Nortje: Grand league teams are all about taking risks and that’s why the South African can be a great pick in Dream11 teams. He can rip through any batting unit.
- Jason Holder: The former West Indies captain is a solid player to have in SKN vs BR Dream11 teams. The 32-year-old is more than capable of affecting the match both as a bowler and as a batsman.
