Players to watch
Chinelle Henry:
The West Indian all-rounder top scored with 37 runs off 29 balls for Barbados Royals in her last appearance against Trinbago Knight Riders. She smashed five boundaries and a six in her entertaining knock. In addition to her batting skills, she is a good new ball bowler and has lethal bouncers in her repertoire.
Fatima Sana:
The right arm pace sensation from Pakistan was the lone wicket-taker for Barbados Royals in her last outing against Trinbago Knight Riders. She picked up 9/1 in her two overs. Apart from being the only successful bowler, she was the most economical one in the team. She also accounted for one run out.

The right-handed top order batter will be required to set the tone and lay a solid foundation for the batters to follow. Apart from her batting, she can roll her arm over to bowl right arm off spin.
Cherry Ann Fraser:
The right arm seamer from Guyana Amazon Warriors is the highest wicket-taker for her team with four wickets in three matches, including the best of 6/3. She is known for her consistency with lines and lengths. She also has good pace and can trouble any batter when she is on song.
