Key Player Battles
Roston Chase vs Johnson Charles: Chase’s off spin against the leading run scorer in CPL history is a proper early contest that could shape the whole game.
Andries Gous vs Wanindu Hasaranga: Gous struck 82 in the opener and will look to carry that form forward, with Hasaranga’s leg spin the toughest test he’s faced so far this season.
Charith Asalanka vs Naseem Shah: Asalanka’s clean hitting against real pace with the new ball, a proper early contest for St Lucia’s middle order.
SLK vs SKNP Fantasy Team
Wicketkeepers: Andries Gous, Tim Seifert, Johnson Charles,
Batters: Kamil Pooran, Charith Asalanka,
All-Rounders: Roston Chase (C), Jason Holder (VC), Wanindu Hasaranga, Dasun Shanaka,
Bowlers: Maheesh Theekshana, Naseem Shah,
Chase gets the captaincy as St Lucia’s leader and an all round contributor. Holder is vice captain as St Kitts’ captain and a proven performer with bat and ball. Gous comes in on the back of his match winning 82 in the opener and is worth serious consideration for the captaincy or vice captaincy too. The rest of the team leans on the strong spin options from both sides, since this pitch has favoured spin, plus the top order batters most likely to face the bulk of the deliveries.
Match Prediction
St Lucia Kings have the head to head record firmly in their favour, home advantage, and the confidence of an opening night win behind them, with Andries Gous in fine touch. St Kitts & Nevis Patriots will be desperate to bounce back after a heavy opening night loss, and they have enough quality in Holder, Hasaranga and Naseem Shah to trouble anyone. St Lucia Kings get the nod on history, home advantage and current form, though a Patriots side eager to make amends can’t be ruled out.
