After registering their first win in the Caribbean Premier League 2024, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons will face St Kitts & Nevis Patriots in match 11 of the competition. The high-octane clash is scheduled at Warner Park in Basseterre, St Kitts. 

Led by Chris Green, Antigua & Barbuda Falcons suffered four consecutive defeats before getting off the mark in the points table with a thrilling six-run victory over Trinbago Knight Riders. After valuable knocks from Imad Wasim, Justin Greaves, and Fakhar Zaman propelled them to 176, the Falcons put up a clinical bowling show to restrict the Knight Riders to 170. 

On the other hand, St Kitts & Nevis sustained their poor run in the tournament, with Barbados Royals handing them a two-wicket defeat in the ninth group-stage match. Despite impressive bowling spells from Kyle Mayers and Veerasammy Permaul, the Patriots failed to defend a 154-run total, as Nyeem Young's quick-fire cameo led Barbados to their second successive win. 

Considering both teams are reeling at the bottom of the CPL points table, an even contest is expected in this face-off. So, before the game begins, let's see how the surface at Warner Park will behave throughout the contest.

The surface at Warner Park will favour the batters as it has offered marginal assistance to the bowlers this CPL. The first three CPL 2024 matches at this venue were high-scoring, with all the teams breaching the 200-run mark. 

So, the pitch will likely be on the flatter side, with the batters enjoying their time in the middle. The spinners might get occasional help, while the pacers will rely on cutters and slow balls to succeed. Considering the track's batting-friendly nature, the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
