St Kitts & Nevis Patriots face St Lucia Kings in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
The match is scheduled to take place at 10am local time (GMT-5) on Saturday, September 17.
This game is due to be staged at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy on Trinidad.
As with the majority of teams in this competition, neither St Kitts & Nevis Patriots nor St Lucia Kings have a great deal of momentum.
The Patriots - the defending champions - sit third in the standings but have only managed two victories all season. They have been victims of the weather twice and have lost on three occasions.
St Lucia Kings are fifth, two points below the Patriots having lost four games and not picked up any consolation points from no results.
The Kings won the first meeting between the two teams, on September 11, by 61 runs.

Johnson Charles against the St Kitts spin attack. Charles has been called into the West Indies squad off the back of an excellent start to the 2022 CPL, in which he has accumulated 227 runs in six innings. How he goes against the likes of Rashid Khan and Akila Dhananjaya will be critical to the success of the Kings.
In the corresponding clash earlier in the campaign, Charles and Faf du Plessis put on 86 in 8.5 overs at the start of the innings to set the tone for St Lucia's success - the Patriots were later bowled out for just 100. Rashid Khan strangled the St Lucia innings that day, with 1 for 12 from four overs, and how the Kings middle order functions here will play a big role (they collapsed from 95 for 1 to 124 for 7 in their previous outing against the Patriots).
Still no Dominic Drakes for the Patriots. St Lucia Kings have lost Tim David, who is on international duty, with Adam Hose coming into the squad. He could make his debut here.

It's close with the bookies. St Kitts & Nevis Patriots are marginal favourites at 9/10, while St Lucia Kings are available at evens.
Who knows. Patriots need to find a way to score runs, St Lucia have to take wickets. We're backing the St Lucia firepower to have just about enough.
