The Trinbago Knight Riders will go up against the St Lucia Kings in match number 23 of the ongoing CPL 2022 season. The upcoming contest will mark the eighth fixture for both sides this year.

The Knight Riders managed to secure just two wins out of their first six games of the season. They defeated the Amazon Warriors earlier this week to snap their three-match losing streak. As of now, the Kieron Pollard-led is placed at number five on the CPL 2022 points table.

On the other hand, the St Lucia Kings continue to climb up the table and is currently placed at number three. Suffering four defeats of their first five matches of the year, they have bounced back in the competition with two emphatic wins against the Patriots in a space of six days.
