St Kitts and Nevis Patriots will be up against Saint Lucia Kings in the reverse fixture in St Kitts. The Patriots have been in some terrific form in this edition of the CPL and had won all their matches before meeting the Kings in the previous encounter.
The Saint Lucia side thumped Patriots after captain Faf du Plessis who had struggled with form in this competition chipped in with an unbeaten 60-ball 120 that included five maximums and helped his side post a mammoth 224/2 in 20 overs.
Later, the Saint Lucia bowlers dominated the Patriots batting and bundled them out for 124 to register a win by 100 runs. Nevertheless, the Patriots are still sitting at the helm of the points table and would be looking for an equaliser against the Kings.
The Faf du Plessis-led Saint Lucia team would now be looking to continue with the momentum that they have got after the dominating win especially against the side who had been in brilliant touch.
Patriots might have to make a forced change as their regular skipper Dwayne Bravo suffered from groin strain.
