Get ready for an electrifying match as Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) gear up to take on Jamaica Tallawahs (JAM) in the opening encounter of the CPL 2023. The showdown is set to unfold at the iconic Darren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St Lucia. Their previous meeting ended in favor of JAM, where they secured victory by a margin of 33 runs.

Faf du Plessis leads the charge for Saint Lucia Kings (SLK). In the previous season, SLK displayed their mettle by securing the third position on the points table. Their journey, however, was halted by Jamaica Tallawahs in the Eliminator. In that intense clash, SLK faltered while chasing JAM's total of 148/8, managing to score only 115 runs. Notable performers for SLK included Faf du Plessis, who contributed 41 runs, Alzarri Joseph with two wickets and 28 runs, and David Weise, who shone with a three-wicket haul. The team has bolstered its squad for this season by strategically including Sikander Raza and Colin Munro.

Jamaica Tallawahs (JAM), led by Brandon King, are riding high on their previous season's success, having clinched the championship. Emerging victorious in the final against Barbados Royals, JAM displayed their prowess by chasing down a target of 162 with eight wickets to spare. Brandon King's standout knock of 83 runs and impressive bowling performances by Fabian Allen and Nicholson Gordon, who took three wickets each, were the highlights of the final. The team has further strengthened its lineup this season with key acquisitions like Ben Cutting and Alex Hales.
