SLK vs SKN Winner Prediction

The Patriots need a morale upliftment after several defeats in the tournament. This is the best chance for the Kings to bounce back against a side down in form.

SLK vs SKN Top Player Picks

Roston Chase (SLK)

The all-rounder excelled in the West Indies phase of the World Cup and was previously voted the franchise's MVP. Chase can take wickets with his right-arm finger spin and is an important middle-order batsman. He proved his mettle in their latest game with a crucial fifty while batting in the middle order.

Faf du Plessis (SLK)

The top-order batter has been getting the starts in the tournament but failed to capitalise on it. It’s a trend with the Proteas veteran that he gets back to his momentum as a franchise competition peaks. Henceforth, it is expected that Faf will be among runs soon.

Wanindu Hasaranga (SKN)

The Sri Lankan all-rounder picked up a four-for in their latest clash against the Falcons. He has scalped five wickets in two games and can be valuable with the bat in hand. The conditions of St Lucia are also likely to favour the spinners.

Kyle Mayers (SKN)

The all-rounder can bat, ball, and field with equal caliber. He is a force to reckon with the bat, having already scored 187 runs from six innings including a 92 at the start of the mega-event. He can also be impactful with the new ball by generating early swing and breakthrough.

SLK vs SKN Differential Picks

David Wiese (SLK)

The Namibian all-rounder brings a wealth of experience to his team. He has a strong change-up that suits the Gros Islet bowling conditions. Wiese is also a handy batsman lower down the order who can score runs quickly.

Anrich Nortje (SKN)

The pace gun has been in good form since the T20 World Cup. He has bagged ten wickets from six innings. Nortje’s extra pace can be a huge factor in the game, helping him with an extra edge in his armoury.

SLK vs SKN Fantasy Expert Advice

Given the playing conditions for the match, a format of 2-3-4-2 or 2-3-3-3 should be good to win rewards.
