St Lucia Zouks is the most disappointing team of the Caribbean Premier League.

St Lucia Zouks will start their way to this tournament under the leadership of most experienced players, Darren Sammy but lack of depth in batting and bowling will create many problems for Sammy.

The toss is going to play an important role in the result of each and every match of the Caribbean Premier T20 League as we had observed in the previous seasons. According to our toss prediction, the team who will win the toss will elect to field first as there is some rain expected and can make the batting a bit difficult.

The 5th Match match of the Caribbean Premier League is going to be played at Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba, Trinidad. We had observed in the previous matches played here that the pitch here at this venue is good for batting. The track is slower than the others we have seen and helps the spinners quite a bit. We are hoping that the surface is bound to get slower and be a bit more difficult for batting in this match. A score of 185 is going to be tough to chase.

The weather forecast for Guyana is not good for this cricket match. There is a lot of rain in the region and it is possible that we may not watch the full match. As rain is expected, Duckworth Lewis might come into the picture.
