SKN vs STAR Dream11 Team Prediction and Probable XI: Preview

Hello and Welcome to our preview for St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs St Lucia Stars 13th CPL match. We are covering SKN vs STAR Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the CPL T20 match. The match is to be played at Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia.

This is a fight between two low-lying competitors. St Lucia Stars ended their long-standing struggle for four losses this season and snatched their first win in their last match while the Patriots are second-last on the points table with one win from three matches.

St Lucia batting first in their match against Barbados raised a mountain of 226 runs. Opener Andre Fletcher (80) and a stunning century from Shimron Hetmyer (104) were the major contributors. Two tight bowling spells from Obed McCoy and Qais Ahmed carried St Lucia to a 38 run victory.

Bowling first, the Patriots struggled early but the Nepalese leg-spinner Lamichhane and Australian all-rounder Ben Cutting brought them back in the game. But chasing 179 proved to be a tall task as the Patriots’ batting order collapsed. Mahmudullah top-scored with 22 in the 47-run defeat.
