Barbados Royals vs Antigua and Barbuda Falcons outfield report

Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados

In general, it is better to bat first at Bridgetown’s Kensington Oval. Twenty of the 33 domestic Twenty20 matches held here have been won by the side that batted first. It is therefore likely that both captains will want to bat first.  Tomorrow will mostly be cloudy with the weather in Barbados. We should see a complete match because there is no risk of rain later in the morning and the remainder of the day is looking clear. Bridgetown’s pitches are notorious for their bounce and pace, but they usually work well for hitters.
