The 12th edition of CPL 2024 is moving towards the fag end of its league stage, and in the 24th match, we have Barbados Royals up against Saint Lucia Kings in a reverse-fixture. The game will be played at the Providence Stadium, Guyana and it is a day game, just like the previous encounter between the two teams at the same venue on Saturday.

Both teams have qualified for the playoffs, but the race for the top-2 finish is still on, and both teams would be itching to grab two crucial points and strengthen their chances. So, ahead of this big-ticket encounter, let's see how the pitch will behave in this clash.

Providence Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at the Providence Stadium Guyana is known for its slow and low nature. The strokeplay is generally difficult on this pitch, and the same has been seen in the three matches played at the venue so far this season. The highest score is 137 this season and the overall average first innings batting score is 151. So, the batters will have to apply themselves if they want to get a big score on this ground and overall, the conditions will be favourable for the bowlers.

Bowlers All Set To Dominate Proceedings

Spinners will get good turn as it has been the case in this ground over the years, and pacers can extract maximum help by varying their pace. Also, bowling stump-to-stump would help their cause given the slow and uneven nature of the pitch, and overall bowlers are likely to dominate the proceedings. 

The score of over 130 in the first innings have proved to be the winning ones this season, and the same is expected in this game. Also, out of the three matches played at the venue this season, two have been won by the team batting first and the only match where the team batting second has won was the game between these two sides, where Saint Lucia Kings chased down the target of 97 with ease. So, it promises to be an interesting contest between two quality sides on a tricky surface at the iconic Providence Stadium.
