Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) and Saint Lucia Kings (SLK) will be locking horns in Qualifier 2 of the Caribbean Premier League 2025 on Saturday at Providence Stadium, Guyana. The winner of this contest will advance to the final of the tournament, while the loser will be eliminated from the tournament. 

SLK, who finished top of the points table in the group stage, lost to the Guyana Amazon Warriors in Qualifier 1. Their form has been a mixed bag of performance toward the end—some losses, some wins—but overall strong enough to make it this far. 

Trinbago Knight Riders finished third in the group stage. They survived via the Eliminator, beating Antigua & Barbuda Falcons, to get into Qualifier 2. If SLK win, they move directly into the final. If TKR win, they pull off a significant comeback from their group‐stage position and Eliminator win to reach the Final.

Matches - 28

TKR won - 18

SLK - 8
