Pitch Condition/Report:

The average score of Warner Park in the last three years ahead of the previous game read 286. The Leeward Islands, who batted first, posted 292/7 which showed the true potential of the pitch. There was little more help for the bowlers under the light as expected. However, the CCC team getting bundled out for 94 in reply was more due to their lack of experience.

Average 1st inning score: 287 (Last six List A matches)
