CPL 2024, BR vs SLK: Team Previews
Barbados Royals
Barbados Royals is ranked among the top four sides on the CPL 2024 points table for securing five wins from their seven league matches so far. Another win over St Lucia Kings at this stage of the tournament will further strengthen their claim for playoffs qualification.
For the Royals, explosive opener and wicketkeeper-batter Quinton de Kock has emerged as the highest run-maker of the season with 369 runs from just seven matches. The bowling department, on the other hand, has been ably helmed by fast bowler Obed McCoy and Sri Lanka-based spinner Maheesh Theekshana. All-rounder Jason Holder has also delivered timely breakthroughs with the ball.
St Lucia Kings
St Lucia Kings, under the leadership of Faf du Plessis, has also secured five wins from seven fixtures. However, they are ranked number three on the six-team CPL 2024 standings, i.e., just below Barbados Royals courtesy of an inferior NRR.
The St Lucia Kings batting line-up has primarily revolved around the blistering form of top-order players like Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis. Tim Seifert has also unfurled handy runs at an explosive strike rate of nearly 165. Among the bowlers, Afghan spinner Noor Ahmad has accumulated the highest number of wickets from all Kings players and is followed by fast bowler Alzarri Joseph.
