Home advantage could be important for Kings in tomorrow’s clash with Warriors

– says Matthew Forde

Fresh from a “player of the match” performance against Barbados Royals in a match of the 2023 Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League, pacer Matthew Forde and his St Lucia Kings team are ready to take on the Guyana Amazon Warriors tomorrow, Saturday August 19, at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in St Lucia from 19:00h.
According to Forde, the home team Kings will be looking to use their home advantage against the Amazon Warriors.
“We have played two games here now, we have assessed the conditions very well; we are the home team, so we will use that to our advantage,” Forde said.
Forde, who hails from Barbados but plays for St Lucia Kings, has been in good form heading into this tournament, having dominated the Global T20 competition in Canada.

“Yes, I have been carrying some form in Canada, so this is for me to come into this franchise. I have been here last year, this year I am trying to impact more in the CPL, and try to get the title for St Lucia Kings.
“We had a hard-fought loss against Jamaica. Today (the game against Barbados), it was about being positive and giving a 100%. We lost against Jamaica, so the game against Barbados was a must-win,” he explained.
“We are at home, we have four games at home; three out of four wins will put us on top of the table,” Forde added. (Brandon Corlette)
