CAY vs CAN Outfield Report

Jimmy Powell Oval, Cayman Islands

The pitch at George Town will provide an even contest between bat and ball, with a little bit of grip for spinners and good bounce for pace. Batsmen should be able to score freely if they get their eye in, and early wickets can change momentum very quickly. 

Weather for match day is expected to be warm and slightly humid, typical of George Town in April. Temperatures are likely to hover around 29°C, with a gentle breeze and minimal chance of rain. Conditions are ideal for a full match with little to no interruption.

Recent matches suggest that 150-160 is a competitive first innings total on this surface. Scores below 130 have often proved difficult to defend unless backed by excellent bowling. While chasing has been slightly easier, disciplined bowling can still create pressure and defend totals successfully.
