Preview

Saint Lucia Kings and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots are set to lock horns in Match No.17 of the 2021 CPL on Sunday, September 5 at the Warner Park. The Patriots are sitting on top of the points table with five wins from six matches.

However, on Saturday, the Kings slapped them with a 100-run defeat. Moreover, Dwayne Bravo, their skipper, has also become uncertain for the game after he suffered from groin strain.

If he doesn’t play, Rayad Emrit is likely to get a chance. The Kings, in the meantime, moved to the second spot and must be brimming with confidence after rolling over the table-toppers.

Probable best batter of the match

Evin Lewis— St Kitts and Nevis Patriots

Evin Lewis has been outstanding for the Patriots in the ongoing edition of the CPL. In six matches, the left-handed batter has notched 229 runs at an average of 38.16 and a strike rate of 147.74. In the previous game, he scored 73, but his knock went in vain. He is also the leading run-scorer for the Patriots in the T20 tournament.

Probable best bowler of the match

Roston Chase — Saint Lucia Kings

Roston Chase has been an underrated bowler for the Kings in the 2021 edition of the CPL. In five games, the off-spinner has picked up six wickets at an excellent economy rate of 6.44. Even when the batters are trying to go after him, Chase doesn’t seem to get perturbed. Not to forget that Chase has also been in decent form with the bat.
