St Kitts and Nevis Patriots endured a poor season last year, finishing last in the table with only one win from 10 matches and nine defeats. This time, they will be hoping for a fresh start and a far better run.
Kyle Mayers takes over as captain and will be expected to make an impact in both batting and bowling. He was one of the brighter performers last season, scoring 268 runs in 10 innings and also picking up seven wickets.
Andre Fletcher is likely to be the main contributor with the bat again. He led their scoring in the previous CPL, hitting 318 runs from 10 games at a strike rate of 150.
Evin Lewis and Mikyle Louis also chipped in last year, both going past 200 runs, while Rilee Rossouw’s composure and ability to keep the runs flowing should make him an important part of the batting order.
Jason Holder and Fazalhaq Farooqi are set to handle most of the bowling duties. Holder knows these conditions well, and his four overs will be crucial. Furthermore, he will be very handy with the bat as well.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons too had a tough outing last year, finishing second from the bottom with only three wins against seven losses. They have overhauled parts of the squad in search of a new spark for this season.
Justin Greaves will be one of the players they depend on most. He enjoyed a solid run in the last campaign, scoring 225 runs from seven matches at a strike rate of 126.
The arrival of Bevon Jacobs should strengthen the top order, as he can play patiently while keeping one end secure. Youngster Jewel Andrew adds another dimension, capable of producing quick bursts of runs early in the innings.
Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan brings balance to both departments. His presence in the middle order will be valuable, and his spin bowling is likely to be effective on these surfaces. Obed McCoy is expected to spearhead the attack after taking 10 wickets last season at an economy of 8.53. Fabian Allen’s experience makes him another dependable option, given his consistent record in the league.
AM Ghazanfar could also make a mark, with his emerging spin talent giving the Falcons a potential X-Factor this season.

Under lights, the ball can skid on at Warner Park in Basseterre, making stroke play easier once batters are set. The pitch is usually on the slower side, so cutters and changes of pace work well for bowlers. Spinners often get some purchase, especially in the middle overs. Short boundaries on certain sides keep sixes in play, and chasing sides may find conditions more predictable in the later stages.
The weather will be partly cloudy with chances of some evening thunderstorms, which can affect the match.
