Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) lock horns with Barbados Royals (BR) in match 25 of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2021. After back-to-back defeats, Saint Lucia Kings find themselves fourth in the points table. They received a thrashing at the hands of Jamaica Tallawahs in their last game. However, two points will help Saint Lucia Kings climb second and put them on the brink of a semi-final spot.
It’s a must-win fixture for Barbados Royals as Jason Holder-led side need to pick up maximum points to keep their slim top-four hopes alive. The Barbados-based franchise, who remains at the bottom of the points table with four points from eight matches, suffered a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Trinbago Knight Riders on Thursday.
