PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Trinidad is expected to dark and gloomy with 50% chances of rain. We predict rain to make some interruptions in this match too. But we hope the game would not be abandoned due to rain.

Venue Details

The pitch is expected to aid spinners more owing to it`s used nature and we have already played 6 matches on the surface. Batsmen will find run scoring difficult and we can expect scores in the range of 140-160 runs and any score above 160 will be considered par here.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing teams have won 5 out of the 6 matches played so far and with rain threat looming around chasing is the best option taking DLS equation into consideration.
