PITCH REPORT: Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium
The presenters of local broadcasters have repeatedly called the pitch of this particular venue to be flatter as compared to other venues in the Caribbean. The strips have a tinge of green grass which keeps the soil together. The hard surfaces are bound to help the batters.
TOSS PREDICTION:
Considering the overhead as well as surface conditions, It is a no-brainer that the captain winning the toss will elect to field first. The conditions get a lot easier to bat on as the game progresses. Back St. Lucia Kings skipper Faf Du Plessis to call it right at the toss.

TOP 5 SLK vs GUY BETTING TIPS:
1. Heinrich Klaasen to score over 17.5 runs
Heinrich Klaasen is renowned to be one of the top white-ball batsmen in South Africa. The right-hand middle-order batsman has wide experience of being part of different T20 leagues across the globe. The list includes IPL, BBL, The Hundred, and CPL as well.
2. More than 14.5 sixes will be hit in the match
The surface of Daren Sammy Cricket Stadium has been an absolute belter, which has made shot-making extremely easy for the batters. Both the teams hallmark some prominent six-hitters, with captains Faf Du Plessis and Shimron Hetmyer leading the chart.
3. Shimron Hetmyer to score a half-century
Shimron Hetmyer is featuring in his inaugural season of the Caribbean Premier League as the skipper of the Guyana-based team. The right-hander has promoted himself in the batting order and has certainly looked in fine form. We expect him to play an impactful knock for the team.
4. Paul Stirling to be the top batter for Guyana
The Irish opening batter Paul Stirling is second to none when it comes to the aggressive style of batsmanship. Stirling has the innate ability to bat at the same pace right from the start to the finish and he has been extremely consistent while doing the same.
5. Over 0.5 ducks by batters of Guyana
The surface at this particular venue has a fairly visible layer of grass which is bound to provide a lot of assistance to the fast bowlers in the initial overs. Batters do not fancy facing those challenging first few overs. Hence, We expect at least one top-order batter from Guyana to get out on duck.
FINAL VERDICT:
Despite playing most of the matches at their home venue, The St. Lucia Kings are off to the worst start possible in the ongoing season of CPL. The Du Plessis-led team has lost three out of four games so far. We back them to make a strong comeback before things get grim.
