Players to watch out for:

1) Quinton de Kock:

The South African's contribution with the bat will be important for the team. His bat has to do the talking if the team aims to get a thumping win. He will be one of the players to watch out for in the match.

2) David Miller:

David Miller is yet another southpaw from South Africa who'll have to step up for the team. The team setup suits him a bit and the Proteas' veteran has the flexibility to play at any number. If needed, he might come and finish things for the Royals. 

3) Jason Holder:

The West Indian all-rounder will be the team's biggest asset in Wednesday's clash. The pitch at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia will suit all-rounders like him. If the Caribbean can pick up a few scalps and contribute with the bat, he'll be dangerous for the opponent. 

Predicted Playing XI: Joshua Bishop, Corbin Bosch, Rahkeem Cornwall, Quinton de Kock (WK), Jason Holder, Azam Khan, Kyle Mayers, Obed McCoy, David Miller (C), Ramon Simmonds, Harry Tector

Trinbago Knight Riders

Trinbago Knight Riders stand third in the points table with one win to their name. The second match got abandoned due to rain and has bagged three points in the season so far. They will clash against Barbados Royals on Wednesday (September 7) and the win is a must if they want to make it to the next round. 

Players to watch out for:

1) Andre Russell:

The all-rounder's form will be a concern, but if he fires, it is all good for the Knight Riders. The Caribbean must try to pick a few scalps to his name and try to smash a few sixes as well. 

2) Kieron Pollard:

Kieron Pollard will look to mimic his vintage days from his stint with the Mumbai team in the Indian T20 League. This will be a crucial game for him and a good knock here might provide him with the most needed confidence. 

3) Sunil Narine:

Needless to say, the spinner holds many records to his name. Hailed as one of the bests for West Indies, he will look to keep things tight for the Knight Riders. Narine is definitely a player to watch out for on Wednesday's game. 

Predicted Playing XI: Terrance Hinds, Sunil Narine, Anderson Phillip, Khary Pierre, Kieron Pollard (C), Nicholas Pooran, Seekkuge Prasanna, Ravi Rampaul, Andre Russell, Tim Seifert (WK), Tion Webster

Pitch Report:

Teams here have won chasing the target most of the time. The pitch can be tricky and teams batting second might clinch the chance to win. Teams winning the toss must look to bowl first at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.
