Players Who Can Make a Difference (Kings)
1. JOHNSON CHARLES
Johnson Charles is a veteran of 106 matches in the CPL in which he has scored 2855 runs at a strike rate of 128.3. He is the leading run-scorer in the CPL.

Venue and Pitch
Warner Park in Basseterre hosted 6 matches during the previous edition of the tournament, and was seen as a chasing venue with all teams winning the toss and choosing to field. Nevertheless, there was an even split of 3 wins each for batting first and second.
It proved to be a high-scoring ground with an average first innings total of 184 in CPL 2023, as well as an average score of 152 across all T20s. It should be a batter’s paradise yet again, with the ball playing true and allowing big hitters on both sides to thrive.
MATCH PREDICTION
Both teams have a strong bowling line-up. However, it is the batting of the Patriots which makes them the favourite for the encounter. The Patriots have a 60% chance of victory.
