The 12th match of the CPL 2024 will match the Saint Lucia Kings against the Trinbago Knight Riders on September 11 at 4:30 p.m. at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in Gros Islet, St. Lucia. Currently occupying the top two slots are the only two unbeaten teams: the Royals and the Warriors. After winning their first two games without a loss, St Lucia Kings’ little winning streak was ended by a loss against Amazon Warriors.
After a commanding first-game victory, the Knight Riders nearly lost their second game. As evenly matched teams, the St. Lucia Kings and Trinbago Knight Riders have a tremendous opportunity to go higher in the standings. It’s going to be a close game, so buckle up.
With two decisive victories over the Patriots (16 balls remaining) and the Falcons (18 balls remaining), respectively, St. Lucia Kings got off to a fantastic start to the season. Bhanuka Rajapaksha and Tim Siefert’s outstanding half-centuries helped the St Lucia Kings reach the large target of 202 runs in the opening game against the Patriots with almost 3 overs remaining. Noor Ahmad was named man of the match after going 3 for 18 in 4 overs during the second victory over the Falcons. With an economy rate of Less than five per over, he is now the second most economical bowler in the CPL 2024.
Despite winning both games by chase, the St. Lucia Kings’ third game against the Warriors ended with them giving up just 100 runs when they were placed to bat first. In the span of just two overs, they went from 6 for 94 to 100 all out. Even though Noor Ahmed produced another efficient three-wicket haul, the Kings lost the match in ten overs, severely hurting the NRR.
The winners of the previous season, Trinbago Knight Riders, will take on St Lucia Kings. In the CPL 2023 eliminator, the Kings were defeated. The Kings understand how difficult this game is. Although victory is essential in this situation, it won’t be simple.

On paper, Trinbago Knight Riders appear to be a strong team, fielding some of the most formidable T20 players in the globe. It could be a good idea to change up your approach against St Lucia Kings after losing and winning the first two games.
In the first encounter with the Patriots, riders blew them. Thanks to wicketkeeper Nicholas Pooran’s spectacular performance of 97 off just 43 balls with 7 fours and 9 sixes, Trinbago Knight Riders amassed 250 when batting first. With nine fours and three sixes in his 73 off 35 balls, Keacy Carty joined the celebration as well. Waqar Salamkheil, Josh Little, and Sunil Narine all claimed two wickets apiece to help the defense keep the Patriots to 206.
Trinbago Knight Riders lost their last game to the Falcons, with 176 runs to be scored when they bowled first. Once more, Waqar Salamkheil and Sunil Narine each claimed two wickets. If Gous, Parris, Pooran, or Pollard had kept going after getting off to strong starts, it might have been a simple chase. Even though they all scored thirty or more, the Trinbago Knight Riders were unable to win the game. The final score was 6 runs against the Knight Riders.
Despite this, Trinbago Knight Riders are now one of just three clubs in the CPL 2024 with a positive NRR. The finalists from the previous year have a squad to settle scores this season.
