Form Concerns

It has been a tough time for Kennar Lewis with the bat in this edition. He has managed only 54 runs in 5 matches.

Be it with the bat or ball, Fabien Allen hasn’t lived up to his reputation. He is yet to pick a wicket in 5 games and has added only 56 runs.

Game Changers

In only his first game of the season, Mujeeb Ur Rahman made his presence felt by bagging a three-wicket haul against Trinbago. He picked 7 wickets at 6 RPO in the recently concluded Asia Cup. He does most of the damage in the powerplay.

David Miller has been playing the role of a finisher for Jamaica to a nicety. He has collected 132 runs, including the highest score of 60 and has been dismissed only once in 5 innings.

Smart Picks

Without being reckless, Raymon Reifer has made a huge difference in fantasy leagues. 171 runs at 57 in 4 games is a testimony to his consistency.

Staying true to his reputation, Quinton de Kock has been providing solid starts for Barbados. His scores this season read 24, 44, 0, 64* and 15*. With the gloves, he has pouched 4 catches.

Obed McCoy has been regularly getting important breakthroughs for Barbados, especially at the death. He has 9 wickets to his credit in 6 matches.

Power Players

Barring the last game against St Kitts, Mohammad Amir has struck in every other game this season. He has taken 10 wickets, including the best figures of 3 for 22 in 6 games.

It has been a dream tournament for Kyle Mayers with both bat and ball. Besides being the highest run-getter (285 at 48) and leading six-hitter (18), he has taken 5 wickets in 6 outings.

Fantasy players have immensely benefited through Rovman Powell’s consistent run-making this season. He has accumulated 206 runs at 52, including 2 half-centuries in 6 innings.

Fantasy Tip of The Day

The pitch has been helping bowlers with variations. At the same time, the batters who have the ability to play balls on merit have been rewarded.
