The opening match of the St Lucia T10 Blast's knockout stages will see the South Castries Lions taking on Central Castries at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground in Gros Islet, St Lucia.
The Lions will be coming into this clash brimming with confidence, having won all of their group stage encounters to finish second on the points table, owing to their lesser NRR when compared to the Gros Islet Cannon Blasters.
The Central Castries won their last two group stage matches, including a dominanting 61-run win against Vieux Fort North Raiders to book their spot in the last four.
With two in-form teams squaring off in this clash, expect a thrilling match on the cards!

Pitch Report
The slightly overcast conditions could be the only thing in the bowlers' favour throughout the game, with the strip proving to be a batter's paradise all through this tournament. Team batting first will need to put up 120-130 to have a chance at defending the total.
