St Kitts and Nevis Patriots vs Antigua and Barbuda Falcons Preview:
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots( STKNP ) is set to face Antigua and Barbuda Falcons( ABF ) in their 1st match during The Caribbean Premier League 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the Warner Park on Thursday, August 14.
St Kitts and Nevis Patriots had a season to forget last year, finishing at the bottom of the table with just one win from 10 matches. This time, they’ll be eager for a clean slate and a much stronger showing.
Kyle Mayers takes the captain’s armband and will be counted on to deliver with both bat and ball. One of the few bright spots from last season, he scored 268 runs in 10 innings and chipped in with seven wickets. Andre Fletcher remains their most reliable batting option after topping their run charts last year with 318 runs at a strike rate of 150. Evin Lewis and Mikyle Louis also passed the 200-run mark, while Rilee Rossouw’s calm presence and ability to keep the scoreboard ticking should be key in the middle order. Jason Holder and Fazalhaq Farooqi will lead the bowling attack, with Holder’s experience in local conditions making his four overs crucial — and his batting just as handy.
The Antigua and Barbuda Falcons also endured a difficult campaign, finishing second from bottom with three wins and seven losses. Determined to turn things around, they’ve made several changes to the squad in search of a spark. Justin Greaves was one of their standouts last season, scoring 225 runs in seven matches at a strike rate of 126. The addition of Bevon Jacobs should add stability at the top, while young Jewel Andrew brings the ability to inject quick runs early. Veteran all-rounder Shakib Al Hasan offers balance with his middle-order batting and useful spin on these surfaces. Obed McCoy will spearhead the pace attack after claiming 10 wickets last year, with Fabian Allen adding further depth and experience. Emerging spinner AM Ghazanfar could be the Falcons’ X-factor, offering a fresh option in the bowling department.

STKNP vs ABF Pitch Report:
Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, generally offers a balanced surface that can produce exciting contests between bat and ball. Early in the innings, fast bowlers often find assistance with good bounce and a hint of seam movement, making run-scoring tricky for batters who are new at the crease. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play with extra grip and turn. That said, once batters settle in, there are plenty of scoring opportunities, and high totals are not uncommon, especially in T20 cricket. In limited-overs formats, chasing teams have often found success here, while in longer formats, setting a target and applying scoreboard pressure has also proved effective.
STKNP vs ABF Weather Report:
At 7:00 PM on 14 August, Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts, is expected to have warm and pleasant conditions, with temperatures around 27 °C and a light breeze coming off the coast.
