Warner Park Pitch Report
The Warner Park field in Basseterre, St Kitts, offers a fair game where bowlers and hitters can both have an effect, but with a minor advantage for bowlers. Making strokes can be difficult because to the sticky surface and seam movement, particularly as the ball ages.
Once set, batters can capitalize and score runs at will, but early in their innings, they must adjust to the pace and bounce. Since the pitch should provide steady turn, spinners are anticipated to be crucial. Since teams who bat first have historically had greater success, the team that wins the toss is likely to go to bat.
