Check out our prediction for the BR vs ABF, The Caribbean Premier League 2025, Match 22.
The Barbados Royals are staring down a critical juncture in CPL 2025 as they prepare to face the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in Match 22 at Kensington Oval. Five games into the season, the Royals remain winless, with four defeats and one abandoned fixture leaving them anchored to the bottom of the points table. Their net run rate has taken a beating, and the pressure to overcome the drought is mounting with each passing match.
Despite flashes of individual brilliance, the Royals have struggled to click as a unit. Their top order has failed to fire consistently, and the bowling attack has lacked bite in the death overs. With the Falcons showing signs of form and confidence, the Royals must bring urgency, discipline, and tactical clarity to the contest. Rovman Powell’s leadership will be under the microscope, and senior players like Quinton de Kock and Sherfane Rutherford need to step up.
A loss here could all but end their playoff hopes, making this clash a virtual must-win. The home crowd in Bridgetown will be hoping for a spirited response from the men in Pink.
The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons enter Match 22 of CPL 2025 with a clear objective: find consistency and solidify their playoff push. With three wins and four losses from eight games, plus one no-result, the Falcons have shown flashes of brilliance but remain unpredictable. Their campaign has been a rollercoaster, commanding victories followed by costly collapses, and that inconsistency has kept them hovering mid-table.
Imad Wasim’s leadership has been steady, but the team needs more cohesion across departments. The top order, featuring Amir Jangoo and Jewel Andrew, has delivered in patches, while the middle order has struggled to close out games. On the bowling front, Jayden Seales and Usama Mir have impressed, but the attack has lacked control in the death overs.
With the playoff race heating up, the Falcons must string together back-to-back wins to stay ahead of the chasing pack. Their next clash against the winless Barbados Royals presents a golden opportunity to build momentum. A dominant performance here could not only boost their net run rate but also inject much-needed belief into the squad. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
