Date: September 01, 2022

Venue: Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts.
Time: 23:00
The defending champions of the Caribbean Premier League, St. Kitts, and Nevis Patriots will take on Barbados Royals in the first game of the latest edition of CPL, 2022. During the league stages of the competition, SKANP finished in the 3rd position in the points tally. The Barbados Royals on the other hand finished at the bottom of the table in the 2021 version of the CPL. The Patriots are not only the defending champions but they are also touted as the favorites for this year's version of CPL. Although it is tough to win this competition back-to-back, they have the team to accomplish the task.
If you take a close look at the Barbados Royals you will realize that the Patriots hold a distinct advantage over them. In the last 14 matches played between these two sides, the Patriots have won 10 games. However, the Royals will be keen to start their campaign on a winning note and try to set the record straight against SKANP. Last year Royals provided a poor performance finishing at the bottom of the points table with just 6 points. They will be eager to not repeat the last year's vows this year. Whatever the match prediction and cricket betting tips published on the cricket betting sites, both teams will be keen to start the 2022 campaign on a winning note.
SNP vs BR Team Previews
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots team goes into this game of the Caribbean Premier League not only as the champions but also as the favorites for this year's trophy. It is also a fact that not many teams can handle this kind of pressure which comes along with the tag of being favorites and champions both. However, the Patriots do have a team that has players, firepower, and experience to win back-to-back titles. One of the main reasons for the Patriots to have a good campaign is the batting of Evin Lewis. In the last edition of CPL, he was the second-highest run-getter scoring 426 runs from 11 matches with a strike rate of 163.22.
One of the significant additions to the Patriots ranks this year is South African batting star Dewald Brevis. He is expected to be the next AB De Villiers for a reason. Apart from him they also have Sherfane Rutherford, Andre Fletcher, and Darren Bravo and they constitute a solid batting line-up for the Patriots. Not only that, but the Patriots also have one of the more flexible and experienced bowling attacks in the competition. They have Dwayne Bravo leading the bowling attack with the likes of bowlers such as Wanindu Hasaranga, Dominic Drakes, Sheldon Cottrell, and Dwaine Pretorius in their ranks. The key players for the Patriots in this game are Sherfane Rutherford, Dwaine Pretorius, Dewald Brevis, and Evin Lewis.

Barbados Royals
In a 6-team competition, last year in the CPL, Barbados Royals finished in the last position. This is tough to digest for any team and move on from there. But the Barbados team will be desperate to not let this happen to them again this year. They have restructured their team quite a bit from the last year. They are hoping that this will make them one of the favorites for the competition. They have added some big names to their ranks such as Quinton De Kock and David Miller. These players are widely considered to be white-ball cricket specialists not only for their country but also for the different franchises they play for.
The batting order will be supported by the likes of Jason Holder, Azam Khan, and Kyle Mayers. However, the Barbados Royals team management will be looking for getting the experienced and overseas players both to fire if they are to have a shot at the title this year. Their bowling department also looks pretty impressive this year. There are players such as Obed McCoy, Jason Holder, Oshane Thomas, and Hayden Walsh participating in the competition for them in their bowling unit. They will also be joined by Mujeeb Ur Rahman who is a star and T20 bowler. He will come to the side after completing his national duties in Asia Cup. This bowling attack will be a formidable one for any batting line-up. Many good things are expected from them in the season.

SNP vs BR Toss Prediction
Both these teams have a strong batting order. So, both outfits will look to win the toss and take to the field first. Because these are early stages in the competition, it might be a safe bet to bowl first and know the target to chase for both sides. Another reason for this decision is the teams chasing a target have a much better record at this venue than the teams batting first.

SNP vs BR Betting Tips
This competition appears to be an exciting one at least on paper. This is because of the incredible firepower the two sides have in their ranks. Both these teams will miss some of their stars as they will be doing their duties in international cricket. So, you can expect pretty much an evenly balanced contest. The toss will be critical for the sides considering the circumstance and history of games played at the venue. But that will not come in the way of a great dual between these two teams. Although the Patriots are missing some of their stars, we expect them to win this match comfortably.
Bonus Cricket Bets
Although this is one of the shortest formats of cricket, you can expect the first ball of the innings to be played cautiously by the openers from either team.
As this is one of the shortest formats of the game, you can expect the Patriots openers to go after the bowling in the first over itself to score more than 6 runs. They have a powerful batting line-up and can afford to take the chance.
Dwayne Bravo is an experienced and wily customer with the ball. He is also in good nick and you can bet on him to emerge as the top bowler for Patriots.
