St Lucia Kings take on Barbados Royals in the 2022 Caribbean Premier League.
The match is scheduled to take place at 7pm local time (GMT-5) on Thursday, September 8.
This game is due to be staged at Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, St Lucia.
Barbados Royals are protecting a perfect record heading into their fourth match of the tournament.
They have already seen off St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, St Lucia Kings and Trinbago Knight Riders to go three from three.
Last time out they made 194 for 4 from their 20 overs. Rain meant TKR were set an unlikely 132 in eight overs.
They would end up being restricted to just 51 for 7, as Oshane Thomas, Obed McCoy and Devon Thomas claimed two wickets each.
St Lucia Kings got off the mark at the third time of asking after beating Jamaica Tallawahs.
Set 164, Johnson Charles' 62 helped them over the line with a ball to spare.

Kyle Mayers took four wickets to ruin the Kings chase in the first meeting between these two sides, on the way to Royals securing an 11-run DLS victory.
Faf du Plessis, however, stayed firm and dispatched the remainder of the Royals attack, hitting 47 from 20 balls to give them hope.
One quirk of both performances was they didn't come up against each other. None of Mayes' dozen deliveries were against the South African.
But this second meeting provides an opportunity to set that straight.
Royals must decide whether to bring back Rakheem Cornwall after he missed the win over the Knight Riders. Harry Trector, the ongoing replacement for Mujeeb ur Rahman, also dropped out.
Niroshan Dickwella's arrival and the Kings' desire to play five overseas players may mean another opportunity for Ackeem Auguste, the 18-year-old leg-spinning allrounder.
