Tonight, West Indies will cross swords against South Africa in the second T20I of the ongoing three-match series at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. Having won the first game, West Indies are one-nil up in the series and would like to sustain their winning run to claim the trophy. 

From the hosts' perspective, the onus will be on Nicholas Pooran, who played a magnificent knock in the first T20I. On the other hand, South Africa must find a way to win this match, as another loss will lead them to an embarrassing series defeat. 

So, as the stage is set for a high-voltage clash, let's see how the surface at Brian Lara Stadium will behave throughout the contest. 

Brian Lara Stadium Tarouba Trinidad Pitch Report

The surface at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, is generally considered bowling-friendly. 

However, the pitch for the first T20I was in sharp contrast to the kind of tracks we witnessed during the T20 World Cup at this venue. 

It was a decent deck to bat on, as batters from both teams thrived to score 350 runs across the game. However, the pitch will assist the fast bowlers in the first innings, considering the West Indies pacers ran riot to reduce the visitors to 42/5 in the opening game. 

The spinners might also get a hint of turn, but overall, it will be a good wicket to bat on, with even pace and bounce on offer. 

Considering the chasing sides have won six out of ten games here, the toss-winning side might opt to field first.
