CPL 2024: SKN vs TKR

Date and Time: August 31; 11:00 pm GMT/04:30 am IST (Sept 1)/ 7:00 pm local (Aug 31)
Venue: Warner Park Stadium, Basseterre, St. Kitts

Warner Park Stadium Pitch Report:

The Warner Park Stadium in Basseterre, St. Kitts is known for its flat pitch that favours batsmen. The outfield is generally fast, and there is minimal turn for spinners. The pitch is likely to offer good batting conditions throughout the match, with the potential for high-scoring encounters. Batsmen who can time the ball well and hit boundaries will be at an advantage. However, bowlers who can exploit any movement in the air or off the pitch will be crucial in containing the scoring. Overall, the pitch is expected to provide a neutral surface that allows both teams to compete on equal terms.
