SLK vs SNP Team Previews
St Lucia Kings
The St Lucia Kings come into this match in great form, having secured victory against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots already this season. They are not unbeaten, but have started off their first few games fantastically.
Bhanuka Rajapaksa has been in fine touch, accumulating 221 runs in his first seven CPL career matches, with an average of over 35 and a batting strike rate just under 150. His aggressive approach will be key to putting pressure on the Patriots' bowlers.
On the bowling front, Khary Pierre has been a consistent performer for the Kings. In his first nine CPL matches from 2023 onwards, he has taken 10 wickets. His accuracy and variation of pace could be crucial to assist his side's fast bowlers.
The youngster from Afghanistan in the form of Noor Ahmad could be another partnership breaker for the Kings. The left-arm wrist-spinner was a serious threat against the Guyana Amazon warriors with three for 22 in four overs. Those three wickets were all of the top three in the Amazon Warriors' batting lineup.
St Lucia Kings Playing 11
Johnson Charles, Faf du Plessis, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Tim Seifert, David Wiese, Sadrack Descartes, Matthew Forde, Alzarri Joseph, Noor Ahmad.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have had a poor start to CPL 2024. While they enjoyed an opening day thriller against the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, they have been lacklustre since. They have the firepower to make a strong comeback.
The key for the Patriots will be their captain and wicketkeeper-batter, Andre Fletcher. He led the way with a brilliant 81 runs off 33 balls against the Amazon Warriors.
Anrich Nortje brings rapid pace to the bowling group. The South African fast bowler has also been a wicket-taking threat in every game he's played this season.
Wanindu Hasaranga has been one of the standout bowler for the Patriots, having taken five wickets in his first two CPL games. The Sri Lankan all-rounder will need to step up once again to restrict the Kings' strong batting lineup.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Playing 11
Andre Fletcher, Evin Lewis, Kyle Mayers, Rilee Rossouw, Mikyle Louis, Josh Clarkson, Wanidu Hasaranga, Tabraiz Shamsi, Johann Layne, Anrich Nortje, Veerasammy Permaul.

The St Lucia Kings could win here and would extend an impressive record against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots.
Bonus Cricket Bets
The left-handed Sri Lankan batter top-scored against the Patriots in their previous encounter. He guided the side home with an unbeaten 68 runs off 35 balls. This bet should be fairly safe because of his previous performance against the same opposition.
The 32-year-old left-arm orthodox spinner will bring a wealth of knowledge about bowling in the CPL. Pierre has the ability to break key partnerships with the ball. He has a CPL career which includes 50 wickets and one four-wicket haul. This may be a slightly riskier bet.
The experienced West Indian has the knowledge of both anchoring the innings and teeing off when his side needs to counter-attack. Fletcher is approaching 3000 runs in his CPL career. There is a slight bit of risk to this bet, but he has the ability to come off with the bat.
The leg-spin bowler will walk into this contest having taken a four-wicket haul in his previous game. He could add to his eight four-wicket hauls and three five-wicket hauls in T20 cricket. He is a consistent performer, so this should be a fairly safe bet.
