Caribbean Premier League Betting Predictions, Tips and Strategies

Caribbean Premier League Betting Predictions

With players like Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo, Sunil Narine, Colin Munro, Darren Bravo and Lendl Simmons at their disposal, Trinbago Knight Riders are favourite to win the 2020 Caribbean Premier League. All 6 players are proven performers in the shortest format of the game and should lead the Trinbago Knight Riders to at least the playoffs stage.

Defending champions Barbados Tridents boast a strong squad as well. With a squad that includes Jason Holder, Hayden Walsh Jr, Rashid Khan, Corey Anderson, Mitchell Santner, Johnson Charles and Shai Hope, the Barbados Tridents have a realistic chance of making it two titles in as many years.

Hayden Walsh Jr. had a fantastic 2019 CPL, and was named player of the series. The Barbados Tridents are hoping that he will pick up from where he left off and take several wickets in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League.

Guyana Amazon Warriors are considered to be the unluckiest team in CPL history, yet, are also the most consistent, and supporters are hopinh that they can put their disappointments behind them and reach a record 6^th CPL final. Imran Tahir, Nicholas Pooran, Brandon King, Ross Taylor, Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul and Sherfane Rutherford will have to perform at their level best if Guyana Amazon Warriors are to finally win a CPL title.

 

Caribbean Premier League Betting Tips and Strategies

Before placing a bet on a CPL match, you should go through the latest news, tips and predictions, head-to-head records, injury news, team news, and team and player form guides. 

Given that the CPL 2020 will be played at two neutral venues, no team will have home advantage. CPL pitches are generally batting-friendly, and provide assistance for spin bowling. Expect a team with a good set of spinners coupled with an explosive batting unit to emerge on top.

The Trinbago Knight Riders fit the bill perfectly. The team arguably has the best batting unit in the league and quality spinners in Sunil Narine and Pravin Tambe. Dwayne Bravo is the leading wicket taker in the history of the CPL and has a variety of tricks up his sleeve. All things considered, an Outright Winner bet on Trinbago Knight Riders is one we'd definitely recommend.

You should also place a To Win the Match bet on Trinbago Knight Riders. You can place a Match Handicap bet on Trinbago Knight Riders when they are playing against St Lucia Zouks and St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.

Sunil Narine and Andre Russell are two players you can place a Player of the Match bet on. Both are outstanding with both bat and ball, and are more likely than not to perform well. You should also consider placing a Top Team Batsman bet on Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn, Shimron Hetmyer, Lendl Simmons and Ross Taylor, along with a Highest Individual Score bet on the same players.

We also suggest placing a Top Team Bowler bet on Sunil Narine, Rashid Khan, Dwayne Bravo and Imran Tahir, and a Player to Score Most Sixes bet on Andre Russell, Sunil Narine, Chris Lynn and Kieron Pollard.

Placing a Most Match Sixes bet on Trinbago Knight Riders makes the utmost sense to us, while bets like Method of Dismissal, 1st Wicket Method, Next Man Out and To go to Super Over depend more on luck than skill, and should be placed only after careful analysis. 

If you want to place in-play bets, live streaming a CPL match will help you understand how a team is performing in real-time, helping you to place live bets accordingly. You can stream games through the FanCode app and Star Sports Network, as well as CPL’s YouTube, Twitch and Facebook channels.

Caribbean Premier League Latest News

All 162 players, officials and administrators who will be involved in the 2020 Caribbean Premier League have all been given the all-clear to compete. Due to the ongoing pandemic, matches will be played behind closed doors.

However, five South African cricketers failed to confirm travel arrangements on time, and will therefore not be taking part in the tournament. These players are Rassie van der Dussen (replaced by Nick Kelly), Tabraiz Shamsi, Colin Ingram, Rilee Rossouw and Anrich Nortje.

Alex Hales, Harry Gurney, Dennis Bulli (replaced by Imran Khan), Qais Ahmad, Rahmanullah Gurbaz, Noor Ahmad, Marcus Stoinis and Sunny Sohal have withdrawn from the tournament. Having missed his flight, Fabian Allen will also not be taking part.

Meanwhile, the Jamaica Tallawahs have withdrawn Jeavor Royal and Andre McCarthy due to health concerns, and Chris Gayle has chosen to opt out owing to personal reasons. Wahab Riaz, Shoaib Malik and Shadab Khan were named in Pakistan’s squad for the Pakistan tour of England, 2020 and will miss the CPL 2020.

Corey Anderson, Mitchell Santner, Najibullah Zadran, Scott Kuggeleijn, Zahir Khan, Roston Chase, Jahmar Hamilton, Shamarh Brooks, Keon Harding, Kissoondath Magram, Mujeeb Ur Rahman, Ramaal Lewis and Jermaine Blackwood were brought in as replacement players.

Caribbean Premier League Betting – Players to Look Out For

Andre Russell

Andre Russell is one of the best T20 players in the world, without a shadow of a doubt. He is a ferocious hitter of the ball, a fearsome pace bowler and an outstanding fielder. He must continue to perform well if the Jamaica Tallawahs are to qualify for the playoffs stage of the 2020 CPL.

Sunil Narine

A proven T20 campaigner, Sunil Narine is a wily spinner who can score quick runs at the top of the order. Narine has been one of the best bowlers in T20 league cricket over the years. Along with Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Colin Munro, Trinbago Knight Riders’ title hopes lie on their four star performers’ shoulders.

Rashid Khan

One of Afghanistan cricket’s shining lights, Rashid Khan has already made a name for himself at a considerably young age. Khan is one of the best T20 spinners in the world, and has led his country on the international stage. He is more than handy with the bat and is a vital member of Barbados Tridents’ squad.

Sandeep Lamichhane

Sandeep Lamichhane is a young Nepalese spinner who plays for the Jamaica Tallawahs. A prolific T20 league bowler, Lamichhane is one of the most promising talents in world cricket. The Jamaica Tallawahs will be relying on his marvellous skills to carry them to glory.

Alzarri Joseph

While Alzarri Joseph has not yet made a mark for himself on the international stage, he is a promising fast bowler with all the ability in the world. The St Kitts & Nevis Patriots are hoping that Joseph puts his best foot forward and leads their bowling attack in the 2020 CPL.

 

History of the Caribbean Premier League

The Caribbean Premier League was founded by the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) in 2013. 7 editions of the league have taken place at the time of writing (excluding the 2020 CPL). The Jamaica Tallawahs won the inaugural season of the CPL.

The Guyana Amazon Warriors are the most consistent team in the history of the tournament, having reached 5 out of 7 possible finals to this date. Only 3 teams have won the CPL: The Jamaica Tallawahs, the Barbados Tridents and the Trinbago Knight Riders.

St Lucia Zouks are the only team to have never reached a CPL final.
