Pitch & conditions

The National Cricket Stadium in Grenada has only hosted one T20I so far in January last year. More than 400 runs were scored in that game when West Indies hosted Ireland. A year earlier ODI between West Indies and England scored more than 800 runs in Run feasting Day.

So spectators can predict big runs but only if the weather permits. It has been raining continuously in Grenada ahead of the match & the chance of rain is so high in today’s match.
