Pitch report
St. Lucia, known for its high humidity, remains the favored island for batting during this World Cup.
The Daren Sammy Cricket Ground has been a thriving venue for most teams, making it an ideal setting for this intense battle, especially with the stakes so high.
There was a heavy shower overnight on the island, but it is expected to clear out even if it is set to be a rather windy morning.
