This Thursday marks the start of the 2022 Caribbean Premier League, with two games planned for September 1. This intense T20 competition, which lasts the full month of September and concludes on October 1st, gives both international and West Indian players the ideal opportunity to hone their skills before the T20I World Cup in October.

Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Match Toss Prediction
The side that batted first won 17 times, drew once and lost 15 times out of the 33 CPL 2021 games played at this venue. Expect whichever captain wins the toss to have a bat and try to put pressure on the scoreboard given that Saint Lucia batted first and won the last time these two teams faced off.
Saint Lucia Kings vs Trinbago Knight Riders Pitch Report
There was a lot of bounce off the pitch during the recent West Indies vs. India series played at Warner Park in Basseterre, with scores ranging from 138 to 165. But given that the recent 6IXTY tournament was played at this venue and had high-scoring, batter-friendly matches, we may anticipate much the same from this CPL 2022 contest.
