On September 4, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will take on St Lucia Kings at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. The hosts are still eyeing their first win of the ongoing season, as they have lost their first three games.

On the other hand, The Kings have played just one game and emerged victorious against St Kitts & Nevis Patriots at the Warner Stadium despite being in a crunch situation at one point.

The Faf du Plessis-led side pulled one of the greatest comebacks as the surface in St Kitts assisted the batters, and the ball came nicely onto the bat. However, things are different at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Let's check out the pitch report for the upcoming match. 

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Pitch Report

So far, three games have been played at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in CPL 2024. It is worth noting that the side batting first has lost all three games. Thus, it is a clear indication that the pitch gets better to bat on in the second innings, and the team that wins the toss should look to the field first. 

Unlike Warner Stadium in St Kitts, the surface at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is a balanced one. It offers help for the bowlers, while the batters can also post high totals on this surface if they play carefully and let the ball come onto the bat. 

The spinner too gets assistance here as the surface gets drier. To conclude, no team has managed to break the 180-run mark at this ground in CPL 2024, but looking at the latest game between The Falcons and Barbados Royals, the latter looked in great touch and assessed the pitch nicely.
