CPL 2025 - St Kitts and Nevis Patriots struggle

The St Kitts and Nevis Patriots have struggled to do well in CPL 2025 so far. With just three wins from nine games, they are currently languishing in the fifth spot in the points table. Their last league game of the ongoing CPL season is on September 11 against Barbados Royals.

St Kitts and Nevis Patriots need to win the match at any cost to keep alive their slim chances of progressing to the CPL 2025 playoffs. Even if they manage to win the match against the Royals, who are at the bottom of the points table, they will have to depend on other results for a place in the playoffs.

Meanwhile, Saint Lucia Kings and Trinbago Knight Riders have already booked their place in the next round. Antigua and Barbuda Falcons and Guyana Amazon Warriors are currently in the third and fourth spots, respectively.
