The Guyana Amazon Warriors will play the St Lucia Kings in Qualifier 1 of the CPL 2024. This match will be played at Providence Stadium in Guyana on October 3 at 4:30 AM IST. 

The Warriors and the Kings finished in the top two spots of the points table. As a result, these two teams will get two chances to qualify for the final. Notably, Warriors, Kings, and Knight Riders had the same points after the end of the 10 league stage games. However, they were separated by their net run rate. 

The winner of Qualifier 1 will earn a direct place in the tournament's summit clash. On the other hand, the loser will play Barbados Royals in Qualifier 2 and get a second chance to make it to the final. 

How Will the Providence Stadium Pitch Behave?

At the beginning of the Guyana leg, the pitch at the Providence Stadium looked a bit low and slow, and the batters were finding it a bit difficult to score runs. However, as the tournament progressed, the wicket settled down, and it started aiding the stroke play of the batters. In the last four matches played here, the team batting first scored over 200 runs and won three times. Also, it is noteworthy that the wicket has behaved more in favour of the batters in the first innings than in the second.
