CPL 2024, SLK vs SKN: Team Previews
St Lucia Kings
The St Lucia Kings franchise has secured two wins and two defeats from four matches so far in the CPL 2024 season. Faf du Plessis and co. are currently ranked fifth on the six-team points table with an NRR of -0.636.
Much of the St Lucia Kings batting line-up has revolved around Bhanuka Rajapaksa, Tim Seifert and Johnson Charles off late. The three cricketers are the only St Lucia Kings batters to have amassed over 100 runs this season. Rajapaksa and Seifert, in particular, cracked match-winning 60s in their previous meeting against SKN a couple of weeks ago.
The bowling department of the St Lucia Kings group has been ably commanded by young Afghanistan spinner Noor Ahmad, who has picked up eight wickets so far from just four innings at a stupendous average of 11.87.
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots
St Kitts & Nevis Patriots won the opening match of the CPL 2024 season by a wicket off the last ball against Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. Since then, the Patriots have lost five matches in a row to slip to the bottom of the CPL 2024 points table.
In spite of being the season’s wooden spooners, the Patriots line-up features three of the highest CPL 2024 run-makers so far in the competition. Kyle Mayers tops the season’s run-scoring charts with 187 runs, and he is followed by Patriots teammates Mikyle Louis and Evin Lewis. Captain Andre Fletcher has also racked up over 100 runs this season with a strike-rate of 173.13.
Moreover, Patriots’ South African import Anrich Nortje is the leading wicket-taker at the moment, while Wanindu Hasaranga made an instant impact with the ball upon arriving at the franchise for CPL 2024.
