Meanwhile, in this post, we will take a look at the Daren Sammy Stadium pitch report, average score and records ahead of the T20 World Cup 2024.
It is a sporting wicket as the batters and the bowlers will equally enjoy their time in the middle. The surface will have some bounce for the pacers initially but the slowishness in the surface will also bring the spinners into the game. Meanwhile, there are no demons for the batters in the wicket either as they can make full use of the hard surface on offer.
While both batters and bowlers will get equal opportunity to dominate at this wicket, the balance is still tilted in the favor of the batters here. Hence, it is more of a batting wicket.
The pace bowlers have always managed to get more wickets at this venue but the spinners will also be very effective here.
