The CPL 2024 is fast moving towards the playoff stage and in the 26th match of the season, Trinbago Knight Riders will take on Saint Lucia Kings. Both teams have qualified for the playoffs, but the race for the top-2 finish is still on, and so it is a crucial game for both the sides. The game will be played at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Tarouba, and the atmosphere is expected to be electric as Kieron Pollard and co. would take the field for the second time on this ground.

Brain Lara Cricket Stadium Tarouba Trinidad Pitch Report

The first game at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium this season turned out to be a high-scoring encounter with Knight Riders chasing down the target of 194 with ease. However, the average first innings batting score in T20Is at this ground is just 135 which shows that the batting has traditionally not been easy on this pitch. It has been a sluggish track over the years, with the batters finding it hard for strokeplay. 

Spinners Likely To Get Help From The Track

The spinners have enjoyed the conditions here with good amount of turn on offer. The pacers too, if they vary their pace can extract lot of help from the pitch and bowling stump-to-stump line could help their cause further. However, if the pitch turns out to be the same that was on offer in the first match of the season at this ground, we can expect the batters to dominate the proceedings and bowlers to have a tough time.

 So, with suspense over the nature of the pitch, we can expect the captain winning the toss to bowl first and gauge the conditions in the first half. Also, team batting second have won more matches on this ground, and we can expect a cracking match between two quality sides.
