The wicket is difficult to bat on at first but becomes easier as the match develops. Most matches here have been low-scoring affairs, and runs have been difficult to come by. On this surface, the team pursuing the score has an advantage, while the team winning the toss will bowl first.
Guyana will have clear skies. Rain continues to threaten, but not likely enough to cut this event short.
As we’ve seen thus far in the competition, the pitch is ideal for batting. The ball should land nicely on the bat, and hitters should be able to comfortably knock through the line. Bowlers have a chance on this surface as well. The team batting first will need to score 180 runs.
Guyana Amazon Warriors has defeated St Lucia Kings in three of their last four encounters. They were supposed to play earlier in the CPL season, but the game was rained out. Since September 2021, the Kings have not defeated the Warriors.
