Both teams are 4-time champions of the tournament and will look to start their campaign with a victory. Windward Islands will start this fixture as favorites, with the likes of Sunil Ambris and Andre Fletcher in their ranks.

In reply, Leeward Islands chased the target in 49 overs with 4 wickets in hand. Kieran Powell and Rahkeem Cornwall scored half-centuries which proved to be enough for the chasing side.

Weather Report & Pitch Condition

It will be sunny throughout the day in Antigua, with a temperature of 27 degrees Celsius. The humidity will be 65 percent. There is no chance of precipitation for this match.

The pitch here at the Coolidge Cricket Ground is a bit on the slower side and scoring more than 300 runs is a hard task on this ground. Slow bowlers will be key for both teams, anything between 260-270 is a competitive score on this ground. The surface might slow down in the latter half. Considering this, whoever wins the toss should bat first.
