The Jamaica Tallawahs will lock horns with the St Lucia Kings in the penultimate league match of the ongoing CPL 2022 season. The contest also marks the final league fixture for both sides this tournament.

Both Tallawahs and Kings have secured four wins and sustained five defeats out of their nine respective matches this season. However, the Kings are placed a rung above Tallawahs on the points table, courtesy of a higher net run-rate.

The Kings are placed second on the standings, just behind table-toppers Barbados Royals. They lost their most recent outing to the Amazon Warriors and the defeat snapped their three-match winning streak in the competition.

The Tallawahs, on the other hand, have lost four of their previous five fixtures, thus losing their track and squandering their confident start to the season. The upcoming contest is a must win for both sides, considering a win at the end of the league stage will strengthen their chances of a top two finish before the playoffs.

Key Players

• Johnson Charles has emerged as the leading run-scorer of CPL 2022, having stacked up 342 runs to his register from eight games for the Kings.
• Brandon King is next only to Charles in terms of runs scored this season. Across nine innings for the Tallawahs, the dashing batter has so far minted 326 runs at 36.22.
• Alzarri Joseph has taken 16 wickets this season and is currently the highest wicket-taker of CPL 2022.
