Antigua & Barbuda Falcons take on Saint Lucia Kings in Match 5 of CPL 2026 at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound on 2026-08-18. With the double round-robin format meaning every result carries weight, both teams will be desperate to claim two points.

The Kings and Falcons bring Eastern Caribbean pride to every encounter. Saint Lucia’s established CPL presence meets Antigua’s newer franchise energy, and these matches often feature the kind of fearless cricket that makes the CPL unique among franchise T20 leagues.

The Falcons are the newest franchise in the CPL, replacing the Jamaica Tallawahs from 2024. Brandon King anchors the batting with his elegant stroke play, while Hayden Walsh Jr. provides a potent leg-spin option in the middle overs. Chris Green’s miserly off-spin has been a feature of CPL cricket for years.

The Saint Lucia Kings combine experienced international stars with raw Caribbean talent. Faf du Plessis brings veteran leadership and big-match temperament, while Alzarri Joseph is one of the fastest bowlers in T20 cricket. Mark Deyal has emerged as a fan favourite with his ability to clear boundaries at will.

Named after the greatest batsman the Caribbean has ever produced, the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound carries an aura that few cricket grounds can match. The 10,000-capacity venue hosted matches during the 2007 Cricket World Cup and has been a fortress for Antiguan cricket ever since. The stands fill with colour and noise as local fans bring steel drums, horns, and an energy that makes visiting teams feel every run they concede.
