The Stars had the worst possible start to their campaign as they were humiliated by Trinbago Knight Riders in the tournament opener. They not only conceded close to 200 runs but also failed to reach three figures themselves on a day where hardly anything went their way.
The Stars are now on a losing streak of 12 matches starting from the 2016 edition and are struggling to break the jinx. After a winless season in 2017, the Stars revamped their squad and brought in Kieron Pollard to lead the team. With the likes of David Warner, Lendl Simmons, Mitchell McClenaghan and Darren Sammy in their ranks, they have reasons to be confident about their chances this year and all they need is one good performance to bury the ghosts of the past.

Team News
The Warriors are likely to field the same team
For the stars, it must be observed there was no dearth of quality in the lineup that faced TKR and neither do they have any better options on the bench. So instead of making wholesale changes, it is wiser to go in with the same XI.
St. Lucia Stars (likely): 1) David Warner 2) Lendl Simmons 3) Andre Fletcher [wk] 4) Kieron Pollard [c] 5) Darren Sammy 6) Rahkeem Cornwall 7) Mark Chapman 8) Mitchell McClenaghan 9) Kesrick Williams 10) Mohammad Sami 11) Qais Ahmad
