Pitch & Weather Report:
The Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad, is such a pitch that bowlers like as it does not let the batter play on the rise. Pace bowlers show well in the matches. The slow track also makes it difficult to bat against the spinners. The only saving grace for the batters is the shorter boundaries. It allows them to play their shots comfortably.
We have seen in the last few times; that the pitch will be quite tricky to bat on. Bowlers can trouble the batters on this surface by bowling in the right points. The first-batting team in this St Kitts & Nevis Patriots vs. Saint Lucia Kings will need to score 180 runs to win this game.
St Kitts vs Saint Lucia Kings Match Prediction:
Since the beginning, the Saint Lucia Kings have been in good form. They have a satisfactory record against the Patriots. So, I predict Saint Lucia Kings will win again in the St Kitts & Nevis Patriots vs. Saint Lucia Kings match.
