St Lucia Kings vs St kitts & Navis Patriots (SLKvSNP): The 15th Match of CPL 2021 will be played between these two teams SLK vs SNP , The match will begin on 04 September 2021 at 07:30 PM IST.
Team winner Prediction:
Key Points:
- The Patriots have won all five of their matches so far and are unbeaten
- The Saint Lucia Kings have been quite unreliable with the bat
- We think the presence of quality all-rounders helps balance the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots while also boosting their bowling resources
SLK vs SNP Analysis:
The Saint Lucia Kings registered a massive victory in the previous match against the Guyana Amazon Warriors but they are still fifth in the league table and outside the qualification zone. They now face the unbeaten Saint Kitts and Nevis Patriots in this match. The Patriots have finished playing their previous match against the Barbados Royals just a few hours ago but the grueling schedule of CPL 2021 is such that they will be in action very soon.
Will this lack of rest and turnaround time open up an opportunity for the Kings to cause an upset?

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The weather remains very good for cricket in St. Kitts and the pitch seems to be getting a bit slower. There is finally a day off in the CPL but that is hardly enough time for the groundsman to be able to change it dramatically. Expect a surface that remains slow with low bounce but flat overall.
Scores of around 150 have been par this season although the small boundaries make it easy for one of the big-hitters to make a big impact.
Probably XI:
St Lucia Kings:
Two wins from four matches for the Kings is not a bad effort in CPL 2021 so far at all. That is the same number of wins that the three teams (including the Jamaica Tallawahs) above them have. There is still a lot of cricket to be played and they are very much in the mix to make it to the playoffs.
The problem for the Kings has been its ability to be consistent with the bat. They won the previous match by 51 runs but that was more to do with the bowling than anything else.
Roston Chase bailed them out with 85 in the previous match but their only other batsmen to have some good form have been Andre Fletcher and Tim David. We did think that the decision to include Obed McCoy and Samit Patel in the lineup improves the overall balance of the team.
There are certainly some match-winners in this lineup and the Kings cannot be taken lightly.
Likely XI: ADS Fletcher, Faf du Plessis, Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, Tim David, SR Patel, Jeavor Royal, Keron Cottoy, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy, KOK Williams.

St kitts & Navis Patriots:
The Patriots just cannot lose a game right now! They looked dead and buried against the Barbados Royals but Sheldon Cottrell scored a six off the last ball to help them win. They have a number of players that are currently performing at a very high level.
Dwayne Bravo, the captain of the team, is playing magnificently and contributing with bat and ball. We can also count Sherfane Rutherford as someone who is making the most of his chances and contributing in every single match.
With Devon Thomas, Evin Lewis, Chris Gayle, and Fabian Allen in the team, the Patriots are loaded with talent. Their batting is definitely better than what the Saint Lucia Kings have in their ranks.
Ravi Bopara, Dominic Drakes, Naseem Shah, Sheldon Cottrell, and Paul van Meekeren form a pretty strong bowling lineup with Fabian Allen as the lead spinner.
Most importantly, the Patriots are in terrific form.
Likely XI: DC Thomas, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, RS Bopara, Sherfane Rutherford, F Allen, Dwayne Bravo, Dominic Drakes, Paul Van Meekeren, Naseem Shah, Sheldon Cottrell.
