The 25th game of the ongoing edition of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) between the Barbados Royals and the St Lucia Kings will be a contest between two sides, who have had contrasting sets of fortunes so far in the competition.
The Royals will rely on the shoulders of heavyweights such as Jason Holder, Glenn Phillips, Johnson Charles and Mohammad Amir to revive their fortunes in the competition.
They have won just two games out of eight played so far this season and are languishing at the sixth position on the points table of an eight-team tournament and if they have to seek a turnaround, their marquee players must make all the opportunities count.
On the other hand, the Kings have had a decent run of form in the season so far and have strengthened their position on the points table. They have had a mixed bag with four wins and four losses in eight games this season and the contest against the Royals will break their evenness either with a loss or a win.

Pitch Report
The conditions in St Kitts is expected to be heavenly stacked in the favour of spinner as the pitch has had a lot of game this season. Apart from the turn, the slower nature of the surface will also hinder batsmen from scoring freely and they will have their tasks cut out to take their sides to a defendable total.
