Barbados Royals Preview
The Barbados Royals have kicked off their season with a bang, securing victories in their first two matches and claiming the second position on the leaderboard. They began their campaign with a commanding 9-wicket triumph over Antigua and Barbuda, then continued their winning streak with a close 2-wicket win against the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
Quinton de Kock is currently leading the team’s batting charts with 106 runs in just 2 innings at a strike rate of 183. De Kock is a destructive opener and his being in form gives the Royals an edge.
