Get ready for an electrifying showdown as Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) go head-to-head against Barbados Royals (BR) in Match 2 of the CPL T20 2023. The action unfolds at the iconic Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia. These two teams, with a head-to-head record of 5-5, have a history of close encounters.

Saint Lucia Kings (SLK), led by the seasoned Faf du Plessis, kicked off their CPL 2023 campaign with a closely contested match against JAM, which ended in a heartbreak.

Alzarri Joseph's two-wicket haul and Roshon Primus' spirited 37-run knock were notable highlights for SLK in that encounter.
On the opposing side, Barbados Royals (BR), now captained by Rovman Powell, had an impressive run in the previous season of CPL T20, finishing top of the points table. Their journey culminated in a gripping final against JAM, where they were edged out by eight wickets.
