In the first CPL 2022 match between Jamaica Tallawahs and St Kitts and Nevis Patriots, the pitch was excellent to bat on in the first innings, and it got slower as the game progressed. This match will be played at the very same venue, and it should behave the same in this match as well.
The average 1st innings score in T20Is here has been just 132 runs, whereas it has been 165 runs in the T20 domestic matches. Considering the nature of the wicket, both teams would love to bat first after winning the toss as the fresh surface will be the best one to bat on.
