Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is one of the oldest cricket stadiums in the West Indies. This ground has been an important part of West Indies’ cricketing journey. Situated in St Lucia, this ground has hosted more than 100 matches internationally.
Pitch of Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium is a balanced pitch with help for the batters and bowlers both. Batters have to adjust their shots a bit in the initial phase of the game but once they settle in they can score big scores. In recent two T10 matches, the scoring has been average however chasing teams have enjoyed it most. Both the matches were won by chasing teams this season.
This is important to note that the chasing team batted really well in the first two matches which enabled them to win the match with ease. So, winning the toss and chasing is the best decision but you have to bat well during the chase to stand a chance to win the match.
There are no records available of the head-to-head matches between these two teams. This will be their first battle against each other. Their rivalry is just getting started with an empty notebook to be filled with a series of matches and memories made during this journey.
