Barbados Royals keep finding themselves languishing at the bottom of the table and have been perennial strugglers in past few editions. Their fortunes haven't changed this year either. On the other hand, a win here for the Knight Riders will seal their berth in the qualifiers. Royals, however, will play for pride and with complete freedom--it can't get any worse for them. Given their decent bowling attack, they could spring a surprise

Barbados Royals have won the toss and have opted to field

Rovman Powell:
We are gonna bowl first. Inclement weather overhead. We have two changes. King and Warrican are out. Has been a disappointing season. Not being in the play offs has been disappointing.

Nic Pooran:
Last two games haven't been in our favour. Have a chance today. We have two changes. Daren Bravo is out. We will look to get better.

Pitch report:
We had some weather around. Has been cool. The pitch was used the last night. Has been under the covers. Average first innings score is 173. Will be challenging to extract some lateral movement here. The slower balls have been beneficial. Four off the 8 wickets taken by fast bowlers came off slower balls in the last game. The surface will offer some grip. Lifting the catching efficiency will help the teams win.

Dwayne Bravo:
Has been a good season. Polly has been a standout. Pooran has led really well. Pooran has been someone me and Pollard have believed is someone who is next in the line. I always say to him this is your team and we will build it. He has been surrounded by some senior players. Always about passing on the knowledge and experience. Matter of building on people.

Chris Green to Munro, out Caught by Shaqkere Parris!! Taken at long-on. Was a flatter one, angled in, Munro looked to launch it down the ground but failed to find the gap. He was looking to go leg-side but failed to hit the gap. There was no elevation on the shot either. [b]
