Series | West Indies Breakout League |
Season | 2025 |
Barbados Pelicans (BBP) and Leeward Islands Thunder (LIT) will compete each other in the eighth match of West Indies Breakout League 2025 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on May 1, 2025, at 4:30 AM IST. This match is essential for BBP to remain in the competition because both teams are at different ends of the table, BBP is in the last place while LIT at the 2nd place and LIT will try to improve its top-two position.
Currently in sixth place, the Barbados Pelicans suffered a heartbreaking 64-run defeat against the Trinidad & Tobago Legions. Their bowling struggled to contain the opposition, and the batting lineup collapsed under scoreboard pressure. A quick turnaround is essential.
Leeward Islands Thunder, meanwhile, are in second place because of its tremendous performance in the league in last match LIT defeating the Jamaica Titans by a dominating 6 wickets. Chasing 123, they reached the target in 16.5 overs, showcasing a clinical batting display. By playing this match, they have a definite advantage because of their well-balanced team.
Probable Best Batter – Zachary Thompson (LIT):
Thompson has emerged as a consistent run-getter with 284 runs in just 5 innings at an average of 56.80 and a strike rate of 153.5. His top-level aggressive approach can set the tone for LIT team to win the match.
Probable Best Bowler – J Martin (LIT):
J Martin is the preferred bowler for LIT because of his consistent control and middle overs variations. Despite not being frequently chosen in fantasy leagues, he is a useful player with the ability to change the course of games through his variation in the bowling.
There is very little chance to rain, and the weather is predicted to stay clear. A fair duel between bat and ball is provided by the pitch. Although early bounce helps pacers, but it usually flattens out as the game goes on, which helps in stroke play during batting. A competitive score would be 160+.
Toss Prediction – Who Will Win the Toss?
Given the conditions at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, teams winning the toss usually opt to field first to take advantage of the early morning conditions. LIT have been good with the toss recently and are slightly favored to win it again.
On paper and form, Leeward Islands Thunder appear much stronger. Their top-order consistency and disciplined bowling attack give them the edge. Unless Barbados Pelicans fix their bowling leaks and show better intent with the bat, LIT should comfortably bag this game.
Today match win prediction: Leeward Islands Thunder to win by 6–8 wickets.
