Evin Lewis to score Over 19.5 runs
Evin Lewis is the leading run-scorer for St. Kitts in the CPL and has an average of over 26 runs in his 95 innings for the team. He scored 248 runs last season, and we are backing him to play a good knock here.
Highest individual score Over 66.5
Warner Park is a high-scoring venue. 3 of the last 5 matches played here have seen at least one batsman cross the 66-run mark, and we expect another big individual score here.

SNP vs ABF Team Previews
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots havenāt been in the best of form of late and ended with the wooden spoon in the last two seasons. Nevertheless, they have made significant changes in their squad for this season and will hope to make a positive start.
The biggest news for St. Kitts and Nevis is the inclusion of Alick Athanaze and Jason Holder. Holder had been with the Barbados Royals since the inception of CPL and has played an important role in their two title victories. His inclusion will not only add depth to the teamās batting but also bolster its seam department.
Alick Athanaze is a quality batsman who can score briskly during the Powerplay. He will join the likes of Rilee Rossouw, Evin Lewis, and Andre Fletcher in the batting line-up. St. Kitts has a strong roster of seamers, which includes names like Naseem Shah, Fazalhaq Farooqi, and Dominic Drakes.
Waqar Salamkheil is likely to feature as the specialist spinner.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots Expected Playing 11
Evin Lewis, Rilee Rossouw, Alick Athanaze, Andre Fletcher (WK), Jason Holder, Kyle Mayers, Fazalhaq Farooqi, Waqar Salamkheil, Naseem Shah, Dominic Drakes, Mohammad Nawaz

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons made their CPL debut last year. However, their performance was subpar as they managed to win only 3 of the 10 matches during the group stages.
Antiguaās batting lineup is likely to be headlined by Jewel Andrew and Kevin Wickham. However, the teamās core strength is likely to come from its middle-order, which has some of the best all-rounders in the shortest format, including Shakib Al-Hasan, Imad Wasim, Fabian Allen, and Justin Greaves.
Antigua has also brought in an emerging power hitter from New Zealand, Bevon Jacobs, who recently made his international debut in a T20 match against South Africa. Another young talent who will be making his CPL debut is Allah Ghaznafar. He was pretty good in the most recent season of Vitality Blast, where he picked up 16 wickets for Derbyshire.
Ghaznafar will be joined by Karima Gore in the spin department while Naveen ul-Haq, Shamar Springer, Obed McCoy, and Jayden Seales make up the seam attack.
Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Expected Playing 11
Kevin Wickham, Jewel Andrew (WK), Shakib Al-Hasan, Justin Greaves, Imad Wasim, Rahkeem Cornwall, Bevon Jacobs, Allah Ghaznafar, Naveen ul-Haq, Obed McCoy, Jayden Seales
SNP vs ABF Toss Prediction
Half of the last 10 matches played here were won while chasing, while the other half were won while batting first. In 9 of those games, the team winning the toss opted to field first, and we expect that trend to continue.
Pitch Report and Weather Conditions
Warner Park has traditionally been a high-scoring venue. The pitch here is flat and hard, offering excellent pace and bounce. The batsmen can time their shots with ease and can play the big shots as well. The quicker bowlers will have to vary their pace and hit the right areas to get some help from the surface.
The team batting first will aim for the 200-run mark. The weather is likely to remain warm and humid with temperatures over 26 degrees.
SNP vs ABF: Who Will Win?
Both teams have had their fair share of struggles last season and will be eager to make a winning start here. There are a number of unknowns as this is the first match for both teams, but we feel that St. Kitts and Nevis have a slight edge here thanks to an experienced batting unit.
Bet on St Kitts and Nevis Patriots to win.
SNP vs ABF win percentage stands at 56% in favor of SNP.
