Pitch Report:

The surface at the Brian Lara Stadium is a neutral wicket where both departments are expected to earn a reasonable amount of help.

The team winning the toss would likely bat first on the venue to utilize the freshness in the wicket.

Andre Fletcher (wk), Evin Lewis, Dewald Brevis, Darren Bravo, Sherfane Rutherford, Dwaine Pretorius, Dwayne Bravo (c), Rashid Khan, Duan Jansen, Akila Dananjaya, Jaden Carmichael

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match:

Johnson Charles:

St Lucia Kings' Johnson Charles is the second leading run getter in this year's tournament with 227 runs to his name in just six outings. The powerful opening batter would like to continue his form and topple Kyle Mayers in the run-scoring charts, who has played one more game than Charles in the tournament.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Rashid Khan:

Rashid Khan made an instant return with his return to the CPL by returning with exceptional bowling figures of 8/1 in his four overs in the previous encounter against the second-placed Jamaica Tallawahs. The mercurial leggie missed the initial matches due to his commitment s with the national team in the recently concluded 15th edition of the Asia Cup. He will be a handful for the batters on a slowish surface at the Brian Lara Stadium.
