Saint Lucia Kings Team News & Playing 11
SLK Team News
Across their last two matches in the CPL 2023, Saint Lucia Kings have been playing for only 5 overs combined. Their last game was abandoned without a ball being bowled so there will be no excuses of fatigue in the squad. We expect to see the same XI for this match.
SLK Key Players
- Faf du Plessis - The South African opener and captain of the team had a particularly fruitful IPL earlier this year. He is a specialist white ball player.
- Roston Chase - The all-rounder has produced the goods on the international stage for West Indies and is a very talented player at domestic level.
- Alzarri Joseph - The quick bowler enjoyed success against India on their recent tour of the Caribbean and he will be very hard to face on this lively pitch.
SLK Team Form
Saint Lucia Kings have not been able to complete their last two games due to the weather but did win their last full match.

Trinbago Knight Riders Team News & Playing 11
TKR Team News
Frustration will have been the biggest issue in the Trinbago Knight Riders squad who knew they would be playing catch-up due to the fixture schedule but as a result of the weather are still waiting for their first completed game. No injuries have been reported in the squad.
TKR Key Players
- Nicholas Pooran - The West Indian international was particularly impressive during the inaugural Major League Cricket season and carried his form into the T20I series against India.
- Martin Guptill - The vastly experienced New Zealand top order batter is a tall individual and is able to drive balls off a length which other players would defend off the back foot.
- Akeal Hosein - The spinner has a strong CPL record over the years and will get turn and some bounce from this wicket in St Kitts.
TKR Team Form
Trinbago Knight Riders ended last season’s tournament in poor form but are yet to get the chance to show their form in this year’s competition.
