Match 25 | Caribbean Premier League 2026 | Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts | 3 September 2026
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have lost four of their last five completed matches, and another defeat here extends their lean run at the bottom of the table. Saint Lucia Kings arrive as the team that beat them by five wickets six weeks ago, on the same ground hosting this rematch. Pooran and Andrew shredded the Patriots attack that day, while Fletcher’s anchoring innings wasn’t enough to change the result. Warner Park’s recent form suggests whoever chases holds the edge again.
Seven teams sit within four points of each other, with ten group games left after this one. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons top the table on net run rate ahead of Saint Lucia Kings and Jamaica Kingsmen, while the Patriots sit seventh with one win from six matches.

SKN Patriots vs Saint Lucia Kings CPL 2026
The two sides met on August 13 at the Daren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet, where St Kitts and Nevis chased down 156 with five wickets and fourteen balls in hand after Saint Lucia posted 155 for 8. Roston Chase leads the Kings into this rematch. Home advantage swings the other way this time, with the contest shifting to Warner Park in Basseterre, where the Patriots have managed only one win in their last three completed or abandoned fixtures. A repeat chase from either side would flip a result that has gone against them for most of the season.
Both attacks lean on the same handful of names, and their recent output tells most of the story heading into Basseterre.
| Player | Team | Recent Form | Key Stat |
| Kamil Pooran | Saint Lucia Kings | 81* v Jamaica, 19 v Guyana, 25 v Trinbago | 193 runs in 5 matches, SR 173.87 |
| Jewel Andrew | Saint Lucia Kings | Quiet since his 58 off 42 on August 13 | Joint-highest score either side has posted in this rivalry |
| Andre Fletcher | St Kitts and Nevis | 48* v Kings, 20 v Falcons, 55 v Kingsmen | Season-high 136 runs, carrying the top order |
| Kyle Mayers | St Kitts and Nevis | 32 off 16 v Kings, out early in two since | Strike rate above 170, the most dangerous powerplay hitter |
| Jason Holder | St Kitts and Nevis | 3-20 v Kings, 0-39 last time at Warner Park | Seven wickets, the Patriots’ leading wicket-taker |
Fletcher has been the one constant for a batting order that keeps misfiring, moving from 81 runs across three completed innings to 136 by the time Jamaica beat the Patriots in Match 18. His strike rate has stayed below 130 all season, a modest return that keeps him at the crease rather than accelerating through it.
Mayers offers the contrast, striking above 170 whenever he lasts more than a handful of balls, though he has fallen inside the powerplay twice since. Holder’s bowling has cooled since his three-wicket haul against the Kings, going wicketless for 39 in his last outing here, even as he still leads the squad with seven wickets this season.
Only one completed match has been played at Warner Park this season, and the team batting first posted 182 before the chasing side fell 11 runs short. It is a small sample, but it fits the ground’s history of rewarding sides that bowl first, with reliable pace and bounce, evening dew that helps the ball skid on, and boundaries as short as 69 metres.
A total in the 180s should again be competitive rather than decisive. Whichever side wins the toss and chases will start as the favourite in this SKN Patriots vs Saint Lucia Kings CPL 2026 rematch, with St Kitts and Nevis knowing exactly what they failed to do here last time.
