Pitch report
The pitch at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad is known for its sluggish nature, making it one of the slower surfaces in the Caribbean region. The batters often find it challenging to score a substantial total on this surface. The slow nature of the pitch favours the spinners, who can extract significant turn and bounce, making it helpful for them to give the ball a rip. Out of the seven matches played at this venue, the team batting first has emerged victorious on three occasions, while the team batting second has won the remaining four matches. The average first-inning score at this ground stands at 161 runs. The team that wins the toss will bowl first.
