Arnos Vale Stadium Kingstown Pitch Report: Is It Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The surface at Arnos Vale Stadium in Kingstown, St Vincent, heavily favours the bowlers. The track's sluggish nature keeps the spinners in play throughout the day. On the other hand, the fast bowlers will likely hit the deck and use cutters and slow balls to succeed at this venue. 

So, it will be a tough track to bat, and the pitch will become slower as the game progresses. Considering that the teams setting the target have won eight of eleven matches here, the toss-winner will likely bat first. 

Players To Watch Out For At Arnos Vale Stadium Kingstown

Mahedi Hasan

  • Bangladesh's Mahedi Hasan has been prolific with the ball in the series, scalping six wickets in two outings. 
  • He can exploit the spin-friendly conditions at this venue and could be a crucial player for the visitors. 

Akeal Hosein

  • West Indies' experienced spinner Akeal Hosein has been magnificent with the ball in this series. He has scalped three wickets at a superb economy of 3.62. So, he can be a valuable asset on this venue's spin-friendly deck. 

Rovman Powell

  • The swashbuckling finisher has been West Indies' most valuable player with the bat in the series. He has struck 66 runs at a blistering strike rate and might be a headache for Bangladesh in this game.
