Antigua and Barbuda Falcons (ABF) Defending will take on champion St. Lucia Kings (SLK) In 5th match of CPL 2025 In Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, Antigua.
Falcons, led by Imad Wasim, made a mixed start with a win and a necklace. While his bowling attack – was done by Wasim and Obed McCoy – looking sharp, his batting unit Shakeb Al Hasan, Fabian Alan, and Rahkim Cornwall need to be distributed with more stability to push the top level of the table.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Pitch Report
The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium offers a unique and complex game surface that tests both batting and bowling skills. Historically, the Maidan has placed the team in second place, making it a paradise.
Under the floodlights at the beginning of an innings, the pitch may be slightly two-book, which offers an opportunity for the seam bowlers. Those who can do swing and movement commands with a new ball can achieve initial success. However, as the game moves forward and the ball loses its brightness, the pitch slows down. This is a change in situations where spinners come in themselves. Their role becomes important in the middle and late overs, as they can exploit a slow surface to bend and hold, making it difficult for the batsmen to score.
