St Lucia Kings take on Trinbago Knight Riders in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
The match is scheduled to take place at 10am local time (GMT-5) on Thursday, September 1.
This game is due to be staged at Warner Park on St Kitts.
Well, it's the start of the season for both these sides, so it's not particularly easy to give you a firm answer.
St Lucia Kings reached the final of the 2021 CPL, only to suffer defeat at the hands of St Kitts & Nevis Patriots.

How on earth do St Lucia contain the Trinbago top order? Narine-Russell-Pooran-Pollard-Seifert is a destructive clusterbomb which could demolish most CPL attacks. Given the Kings are missing three key overseas batsmen, they need the bowlers to do them a favour and restrict the Knight Riders' all-stars.
St Lucia Kings are without many of their star names for their season opener. Faf du Plessis, Tim David and David Wiese, all of whom are travelling to the Caribbean after completing their Hundred campaigns in England, are not expected to feature. Mark Deyal captained St Lucia during the 6ixty in the absence of du Plessis.
Trinbago are missing overseas players, too. Colin Munro is not arriving until the St Lucia leg of the competition, while Maheesh Theekshana is on Asia Cup duty with Sri Lanka.

Jamaica Tallawahs are the underdogs at 7/4, with St Kitts & Nevis Patriots heavily fancied by the bookies - odds available at around 4/9.
This really should be a very comfortable Trinbago victory, given the gulf in experience and international quality between the two sides.
