DIRECT COMPARISON OF THE TEAMS

VENUE AND PLAYING FIELD

The Daren Sammy Stadium in Gros Islet will host this match. It is the first match of this year's CPL to be held in St. Lucia. Only two matches were played at this venue in 2023, with several matches cancelled due to rain. The teams prefer to hunt at this venue which offers enough to both teams in both innings.

MATCH PREDICTION

Both teams have started the tournament very well with positive results and are confident about their chances in this competition. Nevertheless, despite St Lucia's home advantage, the Warriors probably have a narrow lead and their outstanding performance against the Patriots shows that they are in great shape. With them also winning four games in a row, they are 65% favorites.
