The Saint Lucia Kings vs Barbados Royals prediction for the 24th T20 of CPL 2025 promises an exciting battle at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, on Sunday, 7th September 2025. The Kings enter the clash with red-hot form, sitting second on the points table, while the Royals are languishing at the bottom after a string of disappointing results. With Saint Lucia winning their last four meetings against Barbados, the momentum heavily favors them, but the Royals will be desperate to turn things around.

Barbados Royals Preview
Barbados Royals have endured a nightmare campaign in CPL 2025, with just one point from six matches, and are currently on a five-match losing streak. Their batting lineup has shown glimpses of promise but lacks consistency to carry games through.
Brandon King has been their standout performer with 191 runs at an average of 47.75, including a breathtaking unbeaten 98 against Antigua. Rovman Powell has also been impactful with 156 runs at a strike rate of 181, but both need more support from their teammates. Quinton de Kock and Rassie van der Dussen have chipped in with small contributions, yet neither has produced a match-winning knock.
Bowling remains a concern. Ramon Simmonds has led the attack with 7 wickets, supported by Daniel Sams and Eathan Bosch, but the rest of the bowling unit has been underwhelming, often failing to apply pressure in crunch moments. To challenge a strong Saint Lucia side, the Royals need all departments firing in unison.
Predicted XI (BR): Brandon King, Quinton de Kock (wk), Rassie van der Dussen, Sherfane Rutherford, Rovman Powell (c), Eathan Bosch, Chris Green, Daniel Sams, Johann Layne, Ramon Simmonds, Jomel Warrican.
Saint Lucia Kings Preview
The Kings are enjoying an excellent season, sitting second on the table with five wins from eight matches (two no results). They head into this clash full of confidence after dismantling Trinbago Knight Riders by seven wickets.
Tim Seifert has been sensational, topping their batting charts with 313 runs at a strike rate of 180, while Johnson Charles has complemented him with 177 runs at a blistering pace. Roston Chase and Ackeem Auguste have played key supporting roles in the middle order, while Tim David has been crucial in finishing games strongly.
On the bowling front, Tabraiz Shamsi has been a game-changer, taking 9 wickets with an economy under 7. David Wiese and Roston Chase have provided crucial breakthroughs, while Khary Pierre and Alzarri Joseph add depth and control. With both batting and bowling units in sync, Saint Lucia Kings look like genuine title contenders.
Predicted XI (SLK): Tim Seifert (wk), Johnson Charles, Ackeem Auguste, Roston Chase, Tim David, Aaron Jones, David Wiese (c), Delano Potgieter, Khary Pierre, Alzarri Joseph, Tabraiz Shamsi.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Saint Lucia Kings are the clear favorites heading into this contest. Their batting has been consistent, with Seifert, Charles, and Tim David firing regularly, while their bowling attack, spearheaded by Shamsi and Wiese, has been clinical. Barbados Royals, on the other hand, are struggling for cohesion and confidence. While Brandon King and Rovman Powell have carried the batting, they lack depth in both batting and bowling compared to Saint Lucia. Given their dominant head-to-head record and current form, Saint Lucia Kings are expected to outclass the Royals and strengthen their playoff push.
