WI vs SA outfield report
We anticipate that the conditions in this match will be similar to those in the previous game, where the wicket slowed down in the second innings. On this course, chasing scores is difficult, hence the team that wins the toss will usually want to bat first.
On May 25, the sky over Jamaica will be cloudy.
A good field for batters is Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica. Because the ground is smaller than they are, they can freely extend their arms. Because the pitch allows them to turn and bounce, spinners do well here. On this wicket, batters need to be cautious in how they approach the game. A score of more than 180 runs on this wicket will please the team batting first.
