Teams:

Saint Lucia Kings (Playing XI): Tim Seifert(w), Johnson Charles, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim David, Aaron Jones, David Wiese(c), Keon Gaston, Khary Pierre, Tabraiz Shamsi, Oshane Thomas

Barbados Royals (Playing XI): Brandon King, Quinton de Kock(w), Kadeem Alleyne, Shaqkere Parris, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell(c), Eathan Bosch, Daniel Sams, Johann Layne, Jomel Warrican, Ramon Simmonds

David Wiese: Last night was the average mark at this venue. We need to target 200 and get to around 180. Yesterday was a very ordinary performance from us in terms of our fielding, we need to improve on that. It was tough conditions in terms of the wind blowing, but no excuses. Our powerplay bowling and the way we bounced back with the ball at the death was amazing to see. One change for us - Potgieter misses out, and Aaron Jones comes in.

Rovman Powell: Will bowl first. Looks like a good wicket with a bit of inclement weather around. Today provides an opportunity to change our form, we messed up at crucial moments. Two changes for us - Shakeel Parris comes in for Kofi James.

Barbados Royals have won the toss and have opted to field

18:17 Local Time, 22:17 GMT, 03:47 IST: The champions St Lucia Kings host the Barbados Royals today in the evening game of the Caribbean Premier League. Both teams are coming off losses and the Royals are actually yet to open their account for the 2025 CPL. The Kings fell short against Trinbago Knight Riders last night, and would hope to get back to winning ways at the earliest. We should have an exciting game in store tonight. Stick around for the toss.
