Topmost Picks for BR vs TKR Dream11 Prediction:

Top Picks – Barbados Royals

• Kyle Mayers- the left-handed batting all-rounder hit four fours and one six in the last game. He will enjoy the pace of the pitch in Kensington.
• Jason Holder- the former West Indies captain knows this ground particularly well and should get some movement through the air thanks to the overhead conditions.

Top Picks – Trinbago Knight Riders

• Nicholas Pooran- the former West Indies T20I skipper continued his brilliant form over recent months with five fours and four sixes in his knock in Match 12.
• Dwayne Bravo- the bowling all-rounder has won everything in T20 cricket but still has an enthusiasm for the game. He took two wickets from three balls against Saint Lucia.
