Hello and a warm welcome to our live coverage of CPL match 5 this season. The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will host the Saint Lucia Kings in North Sound today.
The Falcons lost their opening game against the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots. But the hosts bounced back in style against the Barbados Royals. They chased down a middling target, albeit with some jitters here and there. Karima Gore anchored the innings and took his side over the line in the last over with back-to-back fifties.
The Kings, on the other hand, will be playing their first game today. Both teams have a good mix of talented youngsters and experienced campaigners. The pitch was two-paced in the last match at this venue. The captain winning the toss will prefer to chase. Expect a cracking contest! Toss and team lineups will be announced shortly…
