Probable Best Bowler: Alzarri Joseph
The right-arm pacer Alzarri Joseph could be the key bowler for the Saint Lucia Kings in this clash. He claimed 16 wickets in 12 matches during the 2024 season and is expected to replicate that form in the new campaign. His four-over spell will be crucial in steering his team toward victory.
