Port of Spain has a fairly good weather with bright sunshine and less than 20% chances of rain predicted as per weather forecasters. We expect a full match with no rain interruptions on the match day.

Venue Details

Queen`s Park Oval has been traditionally a good pitch for the batsmen with average scores in the range of 160-180 runs. A fresh pitch will have good bounce and carry for the bowlers and pacers might enjoy bowling with the new ball. Spinners might come into play as the match progresses.

The pitch is expected to be good for batting comparing the conditions at Brian Lara Stadium and we expect both teams to chase the target if they win the toss in this match.
