Venue: Warner Park, St Kitts
Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is slightly on the slower side with ample help on offer for the bowlers. The pacers should get the ball to swing around in the early stages, keeping the batters on their toes. Although the batters will look to get a move on in the middle overs, the spinners should get the ball to turn off the surface to make for an even contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 140 being a decent total at the venue.
