Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) lock horns with St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (SKN) in match No. 14 of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St Lucia on Friday, September 13.

Faf du Plessis-led Saint Lucia Kings had a great start to the season as they won their first two matches against the Patriots and Antigua and Barbuda Falcons convincingly. However, they have suffered defeats in their last couple of games against Guyana Amazon Warriors and Trinbago Knight Riders. Interestingly, both the wins for the Kings came when they were chasing and their defeats came while batting first.

The Patriots are languishing at the foot of the points table, having won just one and lost five out of the six games they played. Their campaign began with a thrilling one-wicket defeat to the Falcons but they have suffered five consecutive defeats since then. Time is running out for Andre Fletcher’s men as they have to return to winning ways soon.

Probable Best Performers of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Mikyle Louis

Mikyle Louis made his Test debut in July versus England. He didn’t manage to showcase his full potential in the five Test matches he has played against England and South Africa. However, he has been enhancing his reputation in white-ball cricket by playing some fine knocks for the Patriots in CPL 2024.He is the second on the list of leading run-getters for the season, having scored 180 runs from four innings at an average of 45 and a strike rate of 156.52. The right-hander has already notched up two half-centuries and the onus will be on him to extend his purple patch in the competition.

Probable Best Bowler: Noor Ahmad

The Afghanistan wrist spinner has bagged eight wickets from four matches at a remarkable average of 11.88 and a strike rate of 12. His economy rate of 5.94 is also very impressive. Du Plessis will rely on the 19-year-old to get him some breakthroughs, especially through the middle overs. Ahmad conceded just 20 runs in his four overs in the previous meeting between the Kings and the Patriots, where the latter side amassed 201/3 before going on to lose the clash.
