SLK vs SKN Prediction: In the last five matches, the Patriots have won only one game. They have been struggling with the form. The issue is with the non-performance of the big names. The Patriots need to find a way to give a performance as a unit and try to get the best of the conditions.
Saint Lucia Kings have a great squad. You won't find many players in the top scoring or wicket-taking chart, but they get performances from everyone. This is their home venue, and they know the conditions and angle, and that will give them a slight edge. Saint Lucia Kings are currently favorites to win this game.
