Because it will be difficult to score runs on this wicket, we anticipate the team winning the toss will decide without hesitation to bowl first.

On August 17, there would be cloud cover over St. Lucia, which would be helpful for the fast bowlers.

Because of the flat wicket at this location, batsmen can easily score on the front foot. Large scores have been recorded here, thus the team batting first would need to get 170 runs to feel secure.
