The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons are playing against the St. Lucia Kings in the sixth match of the CPL 2024. This game is being played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. 

The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will be looking to win this match and register their first points for this edition of the CPL. They have so far played three games in the tournament and have lost all the three matches. The Chris Green-led side are currently struggling at the bottom of the points table. They need to win this match to imrove their position and get their campaign back on track.

While the Falcons have had a nightmarish start to CPL 2024, the St. Lucia Kings have been on the opposite side of the phenomenon. They looked done and dusted by the 30th over of their first outing against the St. Nevis and Kitts Patriots in theirt first outing of the tournament. However, Tim Seifert and Bhanuka Rajapaksa scripted a dramatic comeback from that stage and led the team to a rather convincing victory by the end of the game.

ABF vs SLK: Captains' say

Here is what the two captains said during the toss

Chris Green(Antigua & Barbuda Falcons Captain): I don't know what is going wrong with toss. We have 7 games left and if you win 5, you can qualify. See, Brandon King is one of the top T-20 cricketers in the world. Yes, we are not getting the results in the powerplay but we have to do well.
One change. Justin Greaves replaces Hayden Walsh in the playing XI.

Faf du Plessis (St Lucia Kings Captain): We are going to chase. No specific reason, just new pitch. I am having a look. Last two games, both teams chasing have done well. One change, Khary Pierre comes in.

Yes, I have. Last year we were more reliant on top order. Middle order has done well in the last game.
