Pitch Report:

Although Brian Lara Stadium's bounce and pace are often on the slower side, the one and only CPL 2024 match held here appeared to be played on a fast pitch. Just 135 is the average first innings total for all T20 international matches played at the site. However, given the last matchup between TKR and SKN, one should anticipate a high-scoring cracker here. With the current results in mind, the captain who wins the toss will probably choose to field first.

Trinbago Knight Riders Predicted Playing XI:

Jason Roy, Jayden Seales, Chris Jordan, Waqar Salamkheil, Tim David, Andre Russell, Akeal Hosein, Keacy Carty, Nicholas Pooran (wk), Kieron Pollard (c), and Sunil Narine.

Saint Lucia Kings Predicted Playing XI:

Aaron Jones, Khary Pierre, Mikkel Govia, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim Seifert, David Wiese, and Faf du Plessis (c).

Best Players:

Nicholas Pooran and Noor Ahmad.

Winner Prediction:

Table-toppers St Lucia Kings will start as favourites to win the highly anticipated CPL 2024 encounter despite the Kieron Pollard-led Trinbago Knight Riders squad having a home advantage at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. This is because of their recent form and a four-game winning run.
