SKN vs BR: Team Previews
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots
Following their washouts in Saint Lucia, the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots fell to two big defeats at the hands of Jamaica Tallawahs and Guyana Amazon Warriors at the Warner Park. Moreover, their recent losses also dealt a massive blow to their net run-rate prospects, as they stand number four on the CPL 2023 points table at the moment.
Barbados Royals
Barbados Royals lost their opening CPL 2023 game to Phase 1 hosts St Lucia Kings by 54 runs earlier in the tournament. Their subsequent planned outing against defending champions Jamaica Tallawahs at the same venue was washed out owing to ceaseless rains at the venue. Royals’ upcoming match against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots marks their only fixture in the Saint Kitts leg of the competition this year.
