St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be looking to make a comeback in their second match at Warner Park in St Kitts. While they’ve got a solid batting lineup with many big-hitting players, the bowling performances tanked in their last game.
Saint Lucia Kings will kick off their L 2024 season with a new-look side featuring Faf du Plessis in the batting lineup. They’ve also reeled in all-rounder David Wiese while retaining Roston Chase.
Warner Park promises to be a high-scoring venue considering the recent match here. Both teams scored 200+ in the last match played at this venue. It hasn’t been a very high-scoring ground if we look at the previous 10 matches played here.
But looking at the pitch where the Patriots played TKR in the last game, we can expect some big-hitting in this game too. Johnson Charles and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are some of the key big-hitting players for the Saint Lucia Kings.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots kicked off their campaign with a win against Antigua and Barbuda Falcons. It was a close encounter as SNP chased down 164 runs with just 1 wicket in hand.
The batting returns improved in the next game as the Patriots crossed the 200-run mark but they fell 44 runs short in the run chase. The bowling performances took a huge dip.
Patriots feature a strong bowling attack with the likes of Anrich Nortje, Kyle Mayers, Dominic Drakes, and Tabraiz Shamsi. Drakes conceded 77 runs in his 4 Overs without any wickets.
He was quite expensive in the opening game as well bowling at an economy of 10.00. Nortje, Shamsi, and Odean Smith will be crucial in leading the comeback from SNP with the ball.
The opening duo of Evin Lewis and skipper Andre Fletcher is as good as it gets. The two need to strike a better opening partnership in this match and avoid an early collapse.
Kyle Mayers can be a good opening option too. He’s a huge asset for the team at number 3 and on his best day, can make a huge impact. Mikyle Louis has shown great promise in the middle-order with a brilliant fifty in the last match.
There are many promising batters in the lower order too with Tristan Stubbs, Sherfane Rutherford, and Odean Smith. All of them are big hitters and can score big at the death.

Saint Lucia Kings were knocked out last year in the Eliminator match. They’re back with some new gs this year that add more balance to the squad. The experience of Faf du Plessis will be crucial in the batting lineup and also as the captain of the side.
He’s captained many T20 franchises around the world and will have a huge impact on this team. There is no Sikandar Raza in the Kings’ squad this year. While they continue with Roston Chase, the Kings have brought in David Wiese to add strength to the bowling attack.
The bowling attack will benefit a great deal from the addition of Wiese to the squad. Wicket-keeper batters Johnson Charles and Bhanuka Rajapaksa are ed by the experienced Kiwi Tim Seifert.
Charles and Faf can be the openers followed by Rajapaksa at number 3 of 4. Roston Chase can come in at number 5 followed by David Wiese. It looks like a balanced lineup with some experienced players at key positions.
And on a batting-friendly wicket, the openers could make a huge impact. Chase can build partnerships in the middle while Rajapaksa also has an attacking approach to his batting.
Alzarri Joseph leads the bowling attack of the Kings. The left-arm orthodox bowler Khary Pierre will be one to watch out for. There are plenty of spin-bowling options in this squad. Joseph and Wiese will be leading the pace attack while Noor Ahmed and Roston Chase are the star spin bowlers in the squad.

Showers are expected on the match day in Basseterre with a high of 27 degrees Celsius but around the match time, there is no rain forecast and it is likely to be mostly cloudy throughout the game time.

It has been a bowling-friendly wicket for the most part. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 matches at Warner Park is 155 runs. But in recent outings, the pitch has witnessed a few big-scoring matches. There is more help for batters and at least 200 should be on the cards for the team batting first.
Teams batting second have won 5 of the last 10 matches played at this venue. And though the last game went in favor of the team batting first, there was enough help on offer for the batters during the second innings. Chasing a total should be a great option at this venue.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have a stronger bowling attack in comparison. They’ve got more experienced players in the bowling department. Kings pack a strong punch in the batting lineup and promise a big show in this game. It can be a close and thrilling encounter with little to no difference between these two equally matched teams. Patriots, with a deep batting lineup, will have a slight edge in this contest and start as favorites in our match prediction.
