SAINT LUCIA KINGS FORM: POSITIVE RECORD BUT STILL WORK TO DO

Saint Lucia Kings will no doubt be eying up Barbados Royals at the top of the table following their first loss of the tournament, but in order to put pressure on the Royals, Saint Lucia need to come out on top here and extend their points tally to 8 after six matches.

ANTIGUA & BARBUDA FALCONS FORM: RECENT REVIVAL IGNITES PLAY-OFF HOPES

After having managed to conjure together consecutive victories, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons fell to a 10-run loss via the DLS method to Barbados Royals, which has stunted their progress somewhat. The result leaves them in fifth-place, two points behind three teams including their opponents here.

SAINT LUCIA KINGS BETTING ANALYSIS

The opening partnership of Johnson Charles and Faf du Plessis were firing on all cylinders against St Kitts and Nevis Patriots last time out, scoring 74 and 62 respectively in an opening partnership of 115. The pair are both capable of big scores, but key for both is to build a strong foundation regardless of whether the Kings are setting or chasing a target. With that in mind, back Saint Lucia to record a first wicket partnership of over 26.5 runs here.

ANTIGUA & BARBUDA FALCONS BETTING ANALYSIS

For two games running now, domestic star Justin Greaves has top scored with the bat for Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. After hitting 30 from 16 balls in a successful run chase against St Kitts and Patriots, Greaves backed that up with 61 not out vs Barbados Royals, albeit in a losing effort. Such form cannot be ignored by bettors, who should explore investing in Greaves to score over 20.5 match runs in this one.

SAINT LUCIA KINGS VS ANTIGUA & BARBUDA FALCONS EXPERT PREDICTION
