Saint Lucia Kings Team News & Playing 11

With Australian spinner Peter Hatzoglou not involved in this year’s Men’s Hundred, Saint Lucia Kings will be at full strength ahead of this match of CPL 2023. Alzarri Joseph was rested for the fourth T20I against India and will be in excellent condition for this game.

- Faf du Plessis- the powerful South African enjoyed another strong Indian Premier League earlier this year and hit a century in this tournament in 2022.
- Roston Chase- the all-rounder got back into the West Indies T20 XI towards the end of the series victory over India earlier this month and will be high on confidence.
- Matthew Forde- with figures which included 4-16 and 4-29, the 21 year old had a very successful time for the Surrey Jaguars over the last two months in Canada.
