Caribbean Premier League 2021 will kick off today at Warner Park, St Kitts. The West Indies Cricket Board has adjusted the schedule to accommodate the IPL’s second leg. This event would be an excellent way for West Indian players to prepare for the T20 World Cup.
The Guyana Amazon Warriors will face the Trinbago Knight Riders’ defending champions in the tournament’s first game. After losing five finals in a row, the Guyana Amazon Warriors will be looking for better luck this season. Last season, they advanced to the semi-finals. On the other hand, the Trinbago Knight Riders will be vying for their fifth CPL crown. They won the title for the fourth time last year after defeating St Lucia Zouks by eight wickets.
Weather
The weather in St Kitts is forecast to be hot and humid. There will be no rain, and temperatures will range from 27~30°C.
Pitch
The batters can make a significant impact since the ball comes quickly to the bat. However, if the bowlers bowl in the proper ways, they might cause problems for the hitters. In the last five matches, the average first innings score has been 180, with chasing teams winning 60% of the time.
