In the upcoming fourth match of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL), Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are set to face off against Barbados Royals on Sunday at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, North Sound, Antigua. 

The Falcons are looking to turn their fortunes around after a rough start to the tournament, having lost both of their opening games. This puts them under pressure to secure a win and gain some momentum in the league.

On the other hand, Barbados Royals will be playing their first game of the season. They will be eager to start their campaign on a positive note, taking advantage of the Falcons' shaky start. The Royals will likely aim to exploit any weaknesses in the Falcons' lineup and set the tone for their matches ahead.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons probable XI: Fakhar Zaman, Teddy Bishop, Kofi James, Jewel Andrew, Sam Billings (wk), Roshon Primus, Imad Wasim, Chris Green (c), Fabian Allen, Shamar Springer, Mohammad Amir

Barbados Royals probable XI: Rovman Powell (c), David Miller, Alick Athanaze, Jason Holder, Keshav Maharaj, Kevin Wickham, Rahkeem Cornwall, Nyeem Young, Naveen-ul-Haq, Obed McCoy, Quinton de Kock
