ABF vs BR Today Match Prediction and Betting Tips, Odds and Live Score

ABF vs BR Match Prediction & Analysis

Shadab Khan delivered two back-to-back finishes at the home ground for the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in their first two outings here. The Falcons need others to step up and deliver match-winning knocks when the top order falls.

Barbados Tridents have won both of their matches so far, and much like the hosts, have an in-form finisher, Sherfane Rutherford, at number 5, who’s delivered two consecutive winning knocks.

After winning two straight home games, the Falcons had no one to turn things around after they were 4 down for 84 runs in the last match. They were 80 for 4 in the 13th over against TKR while chasing 166 in their second outing here.

Can Gudakesh Motie and Mujeeb Ur Rahman exploit the batting vulnerabilities of the hosts as Barbados Tridents aim for a third straight win? The spinners have found great help from this pitch and will decide where this game swings.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Preview

The hosts will be hoping for a comeback in their last home game of the season. Who will be the match-winner for the Falcons this time around? Shadab Khan delivered in back-to-back games, and when they were 4 down for 84 in the last match, the likes of Joshua James, Moeen Ali, and Kusal Perera failed to save the sinking ship.

Khan came in at number 8 and was unbeaten on 6, stranded on the other end watching the ABF batting collapse. The Falcons lost their last 6 wickets for just 32 runs in 32 balls. Not a single batter has been consistent other than Shadab Khan and Amir Jangoo.

Jangoo hasn’t been very impactful, and his strike rate is a matter of concern. Rahkeem Cornwall, an opening batter known for his quick run-scoring ability, has also struggled to find rhythm. Despite big names in this batting lineup, the Falcons haven’t delivered any noteworthy batting performance.

There are plenty of options with the ball. And while they picked up just three wickets in the last outing, we reckon bowling is their biggest strength. Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales are the key bowlers in the pace attack, while Rahkeem Cornwall, skipper Moeen Ali, and all-rounder Shadab Khan are the spinners to watch in this squad.

Interesting Stats

In their last win, Falcons had Shadab Khan pick up 1 for 8 in 4 overs.

Falcons’ powerplay average in the last 3 games is 43 runs.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Predicted Playing XI:

Rahkeem Cornwall, Amir Jangoo (wk), Karima Gore, Hasan Nawaz, Kusal Perera, Moeen Ali (c), Shadab Khan, Shamar Springer, Alzarri Joseph, Joshua James, Jayden Seales

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Actual Playing XI:

Rahkeem Cornwall, Karima Gore, Joshua James, Moeen Ali, Shadab Khan, Amir Jangoo, Alzarri Joseph, Jayden Seales, Shamar Springer, Sufiyan Muqeem, Hasan Nawaz

Barbados Tridents Preview

Barbados Tridents are fourth in the points table with 2 wins from 2 matches. They beat SLK in their last outing by 9 runs, defending a 177-run total in St Lucia. Sherfane Rutherford has been the standout performer for BT in their two successive wins.

The left-handed middle-order batter has scored two fifties in two innings, helping BT finish on a high. Moreover, he’s been unbeaten in both outings so far. And while the bookmaker has priced Rutherford at 4.15 odds to be the top batter for the Tridents, we reckon Quinton de Kock is a better value at 3.20.

QDK was off to a flier in the last game, scoring 38 off 15 balls at number 3, which included 4 sixes. Brandon King and QDK have both delivered big knocks in the last two matches.

While the number 3 batter missed out on a fifty in both outings, King was the top batter with a 73-run knock against Jamaica in their opening match. There are three in-form players in the batting order with great experience.

Daniel Sams led them to a narrow win by 5 runs against the Kingsmen with a four-fer and is the leading wicket-taker in the team. However, considering the pitch conditions at this venue and the recent performance of Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Gudakesh Motie, we think the top Tridents bowler in this match will be one of the two spinners.

The bookmaker has valued both of them at 3.40 odds, while Sams leads with 3.20 to be the top bowler for the team.

Interesting Stats

Daniel Sams has picked up 5 wickets in the last two games

Gudakesh Motie stood out with 3 for 22 in 4 overs in the recent win

Quinton de Kock has scored 38 off 15 and 42 off 25 in his last two innings at number 3

Barbados Tridents Predicted Playing XI:

Quinton de Kock (wk), Brandon King, Zachary Carter, Sherfane Rutherford, Kevlon Anderson, Rivaldo Clarke, Daniel Sams, Chris Green (c), Gudakesh Motie, Ramon Simmonds, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Barbados Tridents Actual Playing XI:

Zachary Carter, Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Green, Daniel Sams, Rivaldo Clarke, Quinton de Kock, Gudakesh Motie, Ramon Simmonds, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Kelvon Anderson, Shian Brathwaite

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect clear skies in Antigua, with a high of 29 degrees Celsius around match time and almost no chance of rain. There are no clouds expected either during this match, though the humidity will be quite high, around 80 per cent. The dew factor could play a role in the second innings, and the spinners will struggle to grip the ball while defending a total.

ABF vs BR Pitch Report

It is a balanced pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. The average first-innings score in the last 3 CPL games played here is 156 runs, which may seem quite low; however, the hosts were bowled out for 116 in the last match. The Guyana Amazon Warriors chased it down in just 59 balls. There is plenty of help for the batters on this wicket, especially in the second innings. The team batting first in this match must aim for something over 190 runs to be in a competitive position.
