Antigua and Barbuda Falcons vs Barbados Tridents Prediction – CPL 16th Match

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons face the Barbados Tridents in the 16th match of CPL 2026 at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound. The match starts at 7:00 pm local time on Tuesday.

The Falcons’ probable XI is captained by Fabian Allen and features Evin Lewis, Rahkeem Cornwall, Tim Robinson and wicketkeeper Jahmar Hamilton, with Shamar Springer, Usama Mir, Alzarri Joseph and Jayden Seales in the bowling group.

Barbados are captained by Chris Green and have Quinton de Kock keeping wicket. Brandon King, Zachary Carter and Sherfane Rutherford make up the top order, Daniel Sams is an all-round option, and Gudakesh Motie, Ramon Simmonds and Mujeeb Ur Rahman lead the attack.

Conditions should be favourable, with a low risk of rain at the start. A fast start could take the first innings towards 170, and spinners and bowlers who change pace will be important later on. Given the dew and the record of chasing sides here, the captain winning the toss may well bowl first. Our preview gives Barbados a slight edge.
