ABF vs SLK Dream11 Prediction: Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will be under immense pressure when they take on the Saint Lucia Kings in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium early Wednesday evening. The match is scheduled to start at 04:30 AM (IST) on September 4, 2024.
Antigua is currently at the bottom of the CPL 2024 power rankings, having lost all three of their matches so far. In a league as short as the CPL, a couple of defeats can derail any team’s campaign, making the current situation dire for the Antigua & Barbuda Falcons. Another loss could likely eliminate them from playoff contention, so the pressure will be immense on the home team to break their losing streak and get their season back on track with a win.
Saint Lucia Kings, on the other hand, started the CPL 2024 season with a five-wicket win over St Kitts & Nevis Patriots. The most impressive aspect of their victory was how easily they chased down a mammoth 202-run target in just 17.2 overs, setting a strong marker with that incredible performance.
