The pitch at the Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium favors batters, offering little assistance to bowlers apart from some movement with the new ball. While spinners might get a bit of turn, it is unlikely to challenge the batters significantly. Chasing teams are expected to have an advantage here.
St. Lucia is expected to have warm weather, with temperatures between 29 and 30 degrees Celsius. The skies will be mostly cloudy, and there is a possibility of some rain during the match.
