Daren Sammy Stadium Gros Islet St Lucia Pitch Report

The surface at Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia generally offers an even contest between bat and ball. However, with showers predicted, the track might contain moisture, tilting itself slightly into the bowlers' favour. 

There could be some assistance for the fast bowlers early on, with the ball seaming around due to the moisture. 

However, the conditions will eventually ease out, and the batters can capitalise on the track's pace to get some runs under their belt. The spinners will also be in the game, getting a hint of turn throughout the match. 

If it rains before the game, expect the toss-winner to bowl first and exploit the seam-friendly conditions. Even if it doesn't rain, the track's tendency to stay firm could tempt the toss-winning team to field first.
