SLK vs ABF CPL Match Prediction: The match number 17 of the ongoing Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2024 will be played between hosts Saint Lucia Kings and the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons in St Lucia on Sunday.
Both teams are currently in the bottom half of the points table. Saint Lucia have three wins in five games and are alive in the playoffs race. However, the Antigua and Barbuda Falcons, having only won two out of seven matches, are on the verge of elimination. Their remaining three league matches are all virtually must-win encounters.
These two sides met earlier this season, in which the Saint Lucia Kings won by seven wickets through Noor Ahmad’s three-for and Johnson Charles’ 47.

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will not have all-rounder Sherfane Rutherford available for selection this season, as he had withdrawn from the rest of the tournament for personal reasons. Also, opener Fakhar Zaman misses this year’s CPL as he flew home to play in the Champions One-Day Cup.

Saint Lucia Kings opener Johnson Charles is a good Dream11 captaincy choice for this encounter.
