WI vs AFG: Daren Sammy Stadium, Gros Islet, St Lucia Pitch Report

The pitch at Daren Sammy Stadium in St Lucia usually offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. However, with predicted showers, the track may have moisture, favoring the bowlers initially. Fast bowlers could find some assistance with the ball seaming around early on.

As the conditions ease, batsmen can capitalize on the track’s pace. Spinners will also come into play with some turn expected. If rain occurs before the game, the toss-winning team might opt to bowl first to exploit seam-friendly conditions. Even without rain, the firm track might tempt the toss winner to field first.
