India vs West Indies 1st T20I: Pitch report
The Brian Lara stadium turf usually remains slow which makes it difficult for the batters to score big. Even though Indian batters had a nice outing in the third ODI, it was pretty evident in the second inning that the pitch was a batsman’s nightmare. The captain winning the toss should ideally choose to bowl first.
It is cloudy in Trinidad on Thursday morning, however, it is expected to be a clear sky in the evening.
