SLK vs BR Match Preview

On Thursday evening at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground, Saint Lucia Kings will face Barbados Royals in the second match of the 2023 Caribbean Premier League. Saint Lucia Kings kicked off this year’s tournament on Wednesday, but were defeated by Jamaica Tallawahs. Barbados Royals were defeated in the 2022 final. Getting over the winning line remains a problem for Saint Lucia Kings, but with so much talent on their team, we expect them to be competitive again in this game. The Barbados Royals will be left wondering how they lost the final so convincingly last year, but they must now concentrate on this season. They have a large number of international players on their roster.
