The 24th match of the CPL 2024 will take place September 22, 2024, at 8:00 PM in Providence Stadium, Guyana where Barbados Royals and Saint Lucia Kings will face each other for the second consecutive match. The Barbados Royals, who have been reliable this season, will want to win this game after suffering a setback in their previous encounter. We anticipate a close game because the Barbados Royals have been playing well and they won’t make it simple for their opponents.
The Saint Lucia Kings have prevailed in the last three meetings between the two teams. After taking heart from the victories, the team will want to put up a strong show.
BR vs SLK Team Preview & Squads
Barbados Royals
The Barbados Royals’ 7-wicket loss against the Saint Lucia Kings in the previous game would have disappointed Rovman Powell. The team, which had always dominated bowling attacks, suffered a rare batting setback. Despite their recent struggles against the Kings, Powell anticipates a solid performance from his team.
Given his current form, the BR anticipates that Quinton de Kock will put on a strong performance with Rahkeem Cornwall. They anticipate strong performances from Powell, Alick Athanaze, and Kadeem Alleyne after the middle order collapsed in the last game. Strong hitters like Jason Holder and David Miller contribute to the batting lineup.
This season, the bowling assault has been strong, and BR anticipates early wickets from Maheesh Theekshana and Jason Holder. Keshav Maharaj and Rahkeem Cornwall both need to do well in the middle overs. Nyeem Young and Obed McCoy will aim to deliver a strong performance in the supporting roles.

Saint Lucia Kings
In the previous game, Saint Lucia Kings dealt the table leaders a serious blow. They will feel confident because of the victory because they bowled the Royals out for 96 runs in the previous game. They will make the playoffs if they win here, and du Plessis will want to capitalize on that success.
Having batted well at the top, Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis will try to give SLK a solid start. Tim Seifert, Roston Chase, and Ackeem Auguste strengthen the middle order and try to form alliances. SLK anticipates David Wiese and Aaron Jones to put on a strong performance in the lower middle order.
As in the last game, SLK anticipates early wickets from Roston Chase and Alzarri Joseph because of their strong bowling performances this season. The squad is hoping for a strong performance from Khary Pierre and Noor Ahmed because of their consistency. Mikkel Govia and David Weise give the attack more nuance.

Barbados Royals vs Saint Lucia Kings outfield report
Providence Stadium, Guyana
At first, the wicket is difficult to bat on, but it gets easier as the game goes on. Runs haven’t come easily, and most of these games have been low-scoring affairs. On this surface, the team pursuing the score has an advantage, and the team winning the toss will attempt to bowl first.
On September 22, we anticipate somewhat cloudy skies across Guyana. On this course, batsmen have to be very deliberate with their stroke choices since the ball will move off the surface. Here, the first-batting squad will be pleased with 170 runs, as the average first-inning score is 128 runs.
