Preview

Saint Lucia Kings and Barbados Kings are set to lock horns in Match No. 25 of the CPL 2021 on Saturday, September 11 at the Warner Park in St Kitts. The Kings, led by Faf du Plessis, are precariously placed at fourth in the points table after back-to-back defeats in the tournament.

In their previous game, Jamaica Tallawahs beat them by 55 runs. The Royals, on the other hand, are placed at the bottom of the points table with a net run rate of -0.594.

Although they have a mathematical chance of qualifying for the playoffs, they need a lot of permutation and combination to go in their favour.

Probable best batter of the match

Roston Chase— Saint Lucia Kings

Roston Chase has been in incredible form in recent times and he has also been called up for the T20 World Cup in the UAE. In the CPL, the right-handed batter has notched 311 runs at an average of 62.20 and a strike rate of 153.20. Having scored three fifties, Chase has looked in ominous touch. Not to forget that he has picked up eight wickets.

Probable best bowler of the match

Jeavor Royal — Saint Lucia Kings

Left-arm spinner Jeavor Royal has been the standout bowler for the Kings in the ongoing edition of the CPL. In six matches, the tweaker has picked up 11 wickets at an economy rate of 6.44. He is also the most frugal bowler for the Kings in the tournament. If he manages to get wickets in the middle overs, the Royals could end up being in a lot of trouble.

Today’s match prediction: Saint Lucia Kings to win the match.
