Despite showing some of the great performances, they couldn’t make it to the knockouts.

Coming into this match, both teams would be looking for a win, and for the same reasons. Both teams need consistency, and a win here would help them move in that direction. With this, fans can expect to see an intense and competitive match between the two.

SKN vs ABF Weather and Pitch Report

Pitch Report

The pitch at Warner Park, Basseterre, St Kitts, is known to favor batters, offering a flat wicket with true bounce that allows for stroke play. Recent matches at this venue have seen high-scoring encounters, including a record chase of 125 runs, highlighting the ease of scoring once set on the ground. Early in the game, bowlers, particularly pacers, may find some assistance, but the pitch tends to slow down, making the batting easier later.

While traditionally the surface has seen lower scores, recently the scores have gone to high totals with matches crossing the 200-run mark. Shorter boundaries will further shift the match to the batting side, making it a challenging venue for bowlers. Spinners might extract occasional help if they maintain accuracy, but overall, it will be a batting-friendly track.
