ENG vs WI: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium Pitch Report
At the Daren Sammy Stadium in St. Lucia, the pitch usually offers a fair contest between bat and ball. However, with rain in the forecast, there might be some moisture in the track, providing a bit of assistance to the bowlers. Fast bowlers, in particular, may benefit early on as the ball could seam due to the moisture. Over time, conditions are expected to become more favorable for batting, allowing batsmen to take advantage of the pitch’s pace and score runs. Thus, bowlers might have a slight edge in this match.
