ABF vs SLK Team Previews
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons
After losing their opening fixture against St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots, Antigua and Barbuda made a strong comeback on Saturday night to defeat Barbados Royals by 6 wickets.
Karima Gore is in red-hot form with the bat as he has slammed consecutive half-centuries for Antigua. He will once again be a key pillar in the middle order. Rahkeem Cornwall and Jewel Andrew are likely to continue opening the batting for the team and will hope to get a good start.
Antigua and Barbuda have plenty of all-rounders playing for them, including Shakib Al-Hasan, Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, and Odean Smith, who add depth to their batting. However, they lack experienced batsmen in their lineup.
Coming to the bowling, Jayden Seales and Obed McCoy will lead the attack with the new ball. The duo picked up two wickets each in the previous game. Allah Ghaznafar continues to lead the spin department.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Expected Playing 11
Rahkeem Cornwall, Jewel Andrew (WK), Karima Gore, Bevon Jacobs, Shakib Al-Hasan, Imad Wasim (C), Fabian Allen, Odean Smith, Allah Ghaznafar, Obed McCoy, Jayden Seales

Saint Lucia Kings
Saint Lucia Kings put up a scintillating performance last season, and they finished second on the points table at the end of the group stage. They went on to reach the finals and lift their maiden CPL trophy.
In a big setback for the team before the start of the tournament, Faf du Plessis, who led the team to a title win last year, has withdrawn from this season due to an injury, leaving a big void in the top order batting. In his absence, David Weise will take over the reins of the team.
That said, Saint Lucia has managed to retain most of their core batsmen, including Tim Seifert, Johnson Charles, and Roston Chase. Tim David makes a comeback to Saint Lucia, adding heft to the lower middle order. The others in the batting line-up include Sadrack Descarte, Aaron Jones, and Ackeem Auguste.
Coming to the bowling, Alzarri Joseph retains his place in the pace department along with Matthew Forde. Tabraiz Shamsi comes in from St Kitts and Nevis to join Khary Pierre to strengthen the spin department.
Saint Lucia Kings Expected Playing 11
Tim Seifert, Johnson Charles (WK), Aaron Jones, Ackeem Auguste, David Weise (C), Roston Chase, Alzarri Joseph, Matthew Forde, Tabraiz Shamsi, Khary Pierre, Sadrack Descarte
ABF vs SLK Toss Prediction
Of the last 6 matches played here were won while chasing, and in all those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first. We expect that trend to continue.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
The pitch at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is likely to be balanced. The average first-inning score here is around 155-160. However, the team batting first will look to score anything around 180 to give the bowlers a chance to defend.
The pitch is likely to have some green patches that will help the seamers when the ball is new, while the spinners come into action once the ball gets older. The weather is likely to remain overcast, and there is a chance that rain will interrupt play.
ABF vs SLK: Who Will Win?
We are backing the Saint Lucia Kings to win this match. They played some excellent cricket last season, and with most of their core retained, they are likely to continue playing well. Also, Antigua’s record against Saint Lucia isn’t the best.
Bet on Saint Lucia Kings to win.
ABF vs SLK win percentage stands at 54% in favor of SLK.
