Kieron Pollard has won an important toss in the 12th match of Caribbean Premier League 2024 and has decided to bowl first. There is no Andre Russell for Trinbago Knight Riders in this game and Dwayne Bravo too continues to miss out. However, Jason Roy is back in the side alongside Jayden Seales. Joshua Little is out of the XI.

Faf du Plessis and co. have also made some changes and the likes of Aaron Jones, Sadrack Descarte and Khari Campbell have been drafted into the XI in place of Ackeem Auguste, David Wiese and Khary Pierre.

Moisture On Pitch Might Help TKR

There has been some rain around in Gros Islet and TKR would be looking to take advantage of the moisture on the pitch with quality bowlers in their ranks. For Saint Lucia Kings, it is about starting off well with the new ball and then go about their business after understanding the nature of the pitch.
