St Kitts & Nevis Team News & Playing 11
Chris Gayle will hold the key for the Patriots when it comes to batting. On his day, he can single-handedly win matches for his side and the Stars will look to get rid of him as quickly as possible. Mohammad Nabi's miserly spell of 3 for 15 from four overs played a vital role in the side's 33-run victory in that game. The offspinner has been their best bowler this year and so there will be high hopes pinned on him.

St Lucia Stars Team News & Playing 11
Averaging 45.60, Andre Fletcher is currently leading the runs charts this season. The aggressive opening batsman had scored 48 against the Patriots in the earlier encounter and the team will once again look to him for delivering the goods with the bat. Shane Shillingford has taken seven wickets from five matches and the offspinner is going to be the main weapon in their bowling armoury.

St Kitts vs St Lucia Prediction
St Lucia Stars are going winless with six defeats from as many matches they have played so far in this year's CPL. This has created a lot of panic and instability within the side and so Darren Sammy has been replaced by Shane Watson as the leader of the team for the remaining matches. The pressure of course is going to be massive on the Stars who now need to win all of their games from here onwards to keep their playoffs hopes alive. St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have beaten the Stars three times in their last four encounters. They won the reverse fixture and it is likely that they are going to win again.
Final Verdict: Back St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to beat St Lucia Stars in this 18th match of the Caribbean Premier League 2017.
