St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Saint Lucia Kings – St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will look to even the score with Saint Lucia Kings when they face the 2021 CPL runners-up at Trinidad’s Queen’s Park Oval. So far, teams batting second have won two of the three matches played here. In their previous match against Guyana at this venue, the Knight Riders needed a phenomenal bowling performance to defend a low total of 150 runs.
Both the Patriots and the Kings have a strong bowling attack and will present a difficult challenge at this venue. Rashid Khan, Akila Dananjaya, and Dwaine Pretorius helped limit Saint Lucia Kings to 161 runs the last time these two teams met.
While that is the average first innings score at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, and the Patriots could easily have chased it down, the Kings’ bowling attack had other ideas.
Saint Lucia Kings bounced back after being bowled out for 100 runs in the run-chase, with their top-order leading the side to an 8-wicket win over Jamaica Tallawahs at the Queen’s Park Oval.
The 20th Match of St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Saint Lucia Kings will take place on September 17th, 2022 at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad.

Match: St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Saint Lucia Kings, Match 20, Caribbean Premier League 2022

Venue: Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots (Match Odds – 1.77):
Preview:
DJ Bravo will be pleased with his team’s comeback, which was led by the top-order batsmen. While the bowling hasn’t disappointed in a long time, Rashid Khan continues to improve.
Afghanistan’s leg-break bowler finished with figures of 1 for 8 from four overs, including a maiden. Other key bowlers in this Patriots attack include Pretorius, Dananjaya, and Bravo. The defending champions’ batting lineup includes some big names. The side’s innings are opened by Andrew Fletcher and Evin Lewis, with the experienced Darren Bravo coming in at number three, followed by big-hitting all-rounder Sherfane Rutherford.
This is as good as it gets in terms of batting order. Dewal Brewis, nicknamed Baby AB, is the youngest and most aggressive member of the middle order. He possesses all of the shots in his arsenal and, like AB de Villiers, plays all over the field.
The Patriots would put up a much better batting performance this time. Despite Saint Lucia Kings’ spirited bowling attack, they are likely to have the upper hand if they win the toss and bowl first.
Full Squad:
Andre Fletcher(w), Evin Lewis, Darren Bravo, Sherfane Rutherford, Dewald Brevis, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo(c), Rashid Khan, Duan Jansen, Akila Dananjaya, Jaden Carmichael, Sheldon Cottrell, Keacy Carty, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Jeremiah Louis, Dominic Drakes, Qasim Akram, Joshua Da Silva, Izharulhaq Naveed, Kelvin Pitman

Players to watch out for:
Andre Fletcher
Only three players have scored more runs in the CPL 2022 than the opener. In terms of fours, he is second only to Kyle Mayers.
Darren Bravo
Darren Bravo, 33, has scored 80 runs in his last three innings. In his excellent knock against the Tallawahs, he hit 39 from only 21 balls.
Rashid Khan
Since arriving from the Asia Cup, the Afghan leg-spinner has taken a wicket in each of his three appearances in the 2022 CPL. In the Match 17, he defeated Kennar Lewis.
Possible Playing XI:
Andre Fletcher (wk), Evin Lewis, Dewald Brevis, Darren Bravo, Sherfane Rutherford, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo (c), Rashid Khan, Duan Jansen, Akila Dananjaya, Jaden Carmichael
Saint Lucia Kings (Match Odds – 2.05):
Preview:
The runners-up from last season were desperate for a win after losing four of their five CPL 2022 matches. Then their bowlers delivered an inspiring performance that caught everyone off guard, bowling out the Patriots for 100 runs while defending a total of 161.
Only once this season has the Saint Lucia Kings won while batting first. It hasn’t been an easy task in CPL 2022 to lose the toss and then win the match after being put to bat first.
Their recent victory over the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots must have boosted their confidence as they prepare to play the next two games at a venue similar to that in Saint Lucia. Tim David will not be in this lineup because he will be with Australia for the T20I series in India.
The Saint Lucia Kings’ batting lineup is already in trouble, with only Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis among the run scorers. And now that Tim David has left the lineup, the middle order is likely to suffer.
As a match finisher, David Wiese at number 7 needs to step up and deliver a significant inning for the team. Roston Chase, Roshon Primus, Dickwella, and Mark Deyal have all failed to make an impression in the middle order. The bowling attack’s variety, with Alzarri Joseph, Wiese, and Roshon Primus being consistent wicket-takers, will be a match-winning factor for Saint Lucia Kings.
Full Squad:
Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis(c), Tim David, Roshon Primus, Niroshan Dickwella(w), Roston Chase, David Wiese, Alzarri Joseph, Matthew Forde, Larry Edward, Kesrick Williams, Scott Kuggeleijn, Preston McSween, Mark Deyal, Jeavor Royal, Ackeem Auguste, Rivaldo Clarke, Leroy Lugg

Players to watch out for:
Johnson Charles
In Match 15, the right-handed opener scored 41 runs off 32 balls against the Patriots. His performance in the 2022 CPL has earned him a recall to the West Indies squad for the T20 World Cup.
Faf du Plessis
The South African scored 60 runs off 35 balls in the previous game. It was his best score of the competition, with five sixes.
Alzarri Joseph
With 12 wickets, the West Indian international is the tournament’s leading wicket taker. In the rematch, he took the wickets of Darren Bravo and Sheldon Cottrell.
Possible Playing XI:
Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis (c), Niroshan Dickwella (wk), Roston Chase, Mark Deyal, Roshon Primus, David Wiese, Scott Kuggeleijn, Alzarri Joseph, Matthew Forde, Kesrick Williams
