SLK vs SNP Analysis:
The final of CPL 2021 is here and we have Saint Lucia Kings playing against the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots for the title. It is safe to say that both these teams deserve their place in the CPL Final.
Neither of these teams has won the CPL title in the past and so no matter what happens, we will have a new winner. From a cricket betting perspective, this is an interesting contest. The Patriots have been more dependable but the Kings have probably a better all-round team.

Pitch and Weather Conditions:
The surface used for the semi-final was very good. It was slow but it had a nice amount of bounce in it and allowed the batsmen to play their shots. The spinners were difficult to score off, however, the small boundaries will always leave them vulnerable on a good batting surface.
Over 350 runs in both matches (including over 400 in one) were seen and we are expecting something similar for this match as well.
Probably XI:
St Lucia Kings:
The Kings batted brilliantly in the previous match as they scored 201 in the previous match. All indications suggest that the CPL Final is going to be a high-scoring match. Well over 350 runs were scored in both of the semi-final matches.
The Total Runs in the Match betting market is available with the Over/Under line at 315.5. We think that is well worth considering.
Saint Lucia Kings brought back Rakheem Cornwall for the previous match but he continued to have a terrible CPL. The Kings have a strong batting lineup, nonetheless, with Andre Fletcher, Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, David Wiese, and Tim David in the starting eleven.
There were 16 sixes hit in the previous match by Saint Lucia Kings alone. That is another betting market that could prove to be very profitable indeed.
While the batting looks well sorted, the bowling was put under pressure in the previous match. David Wiese picked up a five-wicket haul and was easily the best of the bunch.
The rest of the bowling attack can be put under pressure and we don’t think the spinners really lineup well against the batting lineup of the Patriots.
Likely XI: ADS Fletcher, Mark Deyal, Roston Chase, Tim David, Jeavor Royal, Alzarri Joseph, Rahkeem Cornwall, Wahab Riaz, Keemo Paul, Kadeem Alleyne, D Wiese.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots:
Evin Lewis has hit top-form at just the right time for the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots. He completely dominated the previous two matches and is going to be the key batsman once more. Unfortunately, from a betting perspective, the odds available on him are not very good right now and the Over/Under lines are quite high.
He is a good candidate for the ‘To Hit a Six’ betting market that betway offers. There were 13 sixes hit in the previous match by St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots with 8 of them coming from the bat of Evin Lewis.
With Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Sherfane Rutherford, Dwayne Bravo, and Fabian Allen, the batting is very strong. We think there is a slight dependence on Evin Lewis, though, and the lineup would look a bit stronger with another batsman in there.
The Patriots can certainly afford to include another batting option. They used six bowlers in the previous match and Dwayne Bravo did not bowl a single over! Dominic Drakes and Fawad Ahmed are the bowlers that we will be on the lookout for in this match.
With so many bowling options and strategies that change with every match, we are not comfortable picking any one bowler for the Top Bowler betting market in this match.
One thing that we have seen repeatedly from the St. Kitts and Nevis Patriots is the ability to bounce back from tough positions. That will serve it well in the Final.
Likely XI: Joshua De Silva, Sherfane Rutherford, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, F Allen, Dwayne Bravo, Dominic Drakes, Jon-Russ Jaggesar, Sheldon Cottrell, Fawad Ahmed, Naseem Shah
