BR vs SLK Top Player Picks
Roston Chase (SLK)
Chase has the ability to develop an innings and then accelerate. He frequently plays key roles for the Kings and can take wickets with his finger spin on the right arm. One of the instances was their last game against the same opposition. Chase has been a phenomenal all-rounder for the Kings and has transcended his good T20 World Cup form into the ongoing CPL.
Alzarri Joseph (SLK)
The tall, lanky pacer was outrageous with the ball in their last game by removing the top and middle order early. Joseph extracted four wickets in the last game and troubled the Royals key batters in the first innings. The hit the deck bowlers have done comparatively well.
Obed McCoy (BR)
The left-arm pacer has a propensity for wickets and is the team's biggest wicket-taker. He has nine wickets in six games so far in the CPL 2024. McCoy has a fantastic short ball delivery and a great slower one that can confuse the batter.
Quinton Kock (BR)
In the current CPL 2024, the South African batter became the second player to score a century, doing it against the Guyana Amazon Warriors. He is the tournament's best run-scorer, with 369 runs and an average of 73.80. De Kock has been in outstanding form with the bat despite his low score in the last game.
BR vs SLK Differential Picks
Faf du Plessis (SLK)
Faf looked like to have conquered the issue of score conversation that plagued him at the start of the season, scoring 62 off 31 against the Patriots. However, his recent games tell a whole different stroy. But it doesn’t rule out the fact that he is a class player and can be a match-winner on his day.
Jason Holder (BR)
The Barbados great all-rounder is anticipated to make a huge impact with both the bat and the ball. Despite taking eight wickets in seven games, he has struggled to bat. Holder performed admirably with the bat in the last Test series against England, but has yet to advance to the T20 level.
