Trinbago Knight Riders take on Saint Lucia Kings in match No. 26 of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad on Tuesday, September 24.

The Knight Riders have qualified for the playoffs and are currently placed at No. 4 on the points table. They have won five and lost two out of the seven that they have played. The top two teams on the points table at the end of the round-robin phase will get two chances to make it to the finals. A win for Trinbago on Tuesday will catapult them into the top two.

Meanwhile, Saint Lucia Kings are the league leaders at the moment. They have won six and lost two out of the eight games that they have played. Faf du Plessis and Co. are on a four-match winning streak, and a victory on Tuesday could help them in taking one more step closer to a spot in Qualifier 1.

These two teams met each other earlier this season. The Knight Riders emerged victorious by four wickets as they chased down a 188-run target with four wickets and five balls to spare in St Lucia.
