BAR vs SLZ Dream11 Prediction: The biggest party in world cricket has well and truly entered its second leg of the tournament and one team that has surprised everyone with their performances is Darren Sammy led St Lucia Zouks.
The defending champions will be locking horns with St Lucia Zouks in the 19th match of the tournament. Barbados Tridents are the defending champions and it was expected that they would dominate this season with the kind of resources they have at their disposal but due to some lacklustre tactics from their captain in Jason Holder, they have won only 2 out of the 6 games that they have played. Having said that, Holder was impressive in their second last game as a captain and will be looking to turn the tables in the 2nd half of the tournament
On the other hand, the 2-time world cup winning captain in Darren Sammy led St Lucia Zouks have performed exceedingly well and are just 2 wins away from entering the playoffs. They have defied all the odds and have beaten some heavyweights in this competition so far. This will be another such game where two in-form teams will fight for that 2 points

BT team news
Injuries unavailability
No injuries announcement from both sides
Playing combinations, expected changes
• Barbados are coming at the back of a heart-breaking defeat against TKR. They have set openers in Johnson Charles and Shai Hope and they should be looking to continue with that pair although time is nearing for Shai Hope as he has been terrible in this season.
• The top order will be manned by the brutal southpaw Kyle Mayers and the captain Jason Holder has turned himself into a #4 batsman. The middle-order consists of Corey Anderson, Ashely Nurse, Rashid Khan, and Mitchell Santner who can come in at any position depending on the situation of the game.
• The spin quartet of Rashid Khan, Ashely Nurse, Mitchell Santner and Hayden Walsh jr will be a force to reckon with and they are expected to continue with their 4 spinners approach.
• The fast bowling department consists of Jason Holder who has been a new ball specialist, the left arm seamer Raymon Reifer and the rookie Nyeem Young.
SLZ Team news
Injuries and unavailability
No injury announcement from both side
Playing combination, expected changes
• They have 2 destructive openers who can exploit the field restrictions in Rakheem Cornwall and Andre Fletcher. Though both have not been in their top form, SLZ might not want to tinker with their winning combination.
• Their top and middle-order batsmen have been in top form with Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, Mohammad Nabi and Najibullah Zadran all have been amongst runs. Roston Chase, in particular, has been the backbone of their batting line-up in this season so far
• They have as many as 3 off-spinners in their team and they also brought in variety to their attack by playing Zahir Khan ahead of Chemar Holder who responded well with match figures of 4 overs for 18 runs and 1 wicket against SKNP. They should persist with this spin attack
• The fast bowling department is taken care by Scott Kuggeleijn who is the 2nd leading wicket taker in the tournament and Kesrick Williams.

BAR vs SLZ Dream 11 Match Prediction
Wicket-keepers– Johnson Charles
Batsmen– Corey Anderson, Najibullah Zadran, Mark Deyal
All-rounders– Jason Holder, Mohammad Nabi, Kyle Mayers, Roston Chase
Bowlers– Scott Kuggeleijn, Kesrick Williams, Rashid Khan
Captain and vice-captain:
Mohammad Nabi: The former Afghan captain has been a revelation in this tournament so far. He has picked 10 wickets and has scored 120 runs with the bat which makes him an obvious choice for the captaincy option
Roston Chase: The another off-spinning all-rounder is a solid captaincy option as he has contributed with both bat and ball. He has 5 wickets to go with 156 runs with the bat
Jason Holder: Another all-rounder who could fetch some very high points as far as dream 11 is concerned. He has finally understood his potential with the bat and has promoted himself to #4 in the batting line-up. He has scored 119 runs in the tournament so far and can be a quality captaincy option.
X-factor and value picks
Mark Deyal: The talented southpaw has shown great potential with the bat and can be an x-factor in grand leagues where his selection percentage will be less so that one can benefit if he gets going considering he finds a place in your dream 11 team. He also bowls useful part-time off-spin so that he can be a real handy if he gets going. He has scored 65 runs with the bat so far but is never far away from a blistering knock.
Kyle Mayers: One of the finds of this CPL can be a massive player on his day who proved with an amazing 85 from 59 balls that included 8 maximums in his innings against Jamaica Tallawahs. He is also the 2nd leading run-getter with 203 runs. So he is a must in your fantasy teams.
Rashid Khan: Never write off a champion bowler like Rashid Khan. He is a proven customer. Although he has only 8 wickets to his name in this season, he is a rockstar and can be that x-factor in your dream 11 team.
Dream11 Teams Today match prediction BAR vs SLZ Who will win Today match
This is a match of heavyweights and it will be a tightly contested game for sure. At the current form, Darren Sammy led St Lucia Zouks superior but Barbados Tridents are defending champions and have found their lost mojo in their previous game and are likely winners of today match prediction.
Considering all the factors, Darren Sammy has been an inspirational captain in this tournament so far and might just overcome Barbados Tridents for the 2nd consecutive time in the tournament.
