How will the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium's pitch behave?

The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium was used during the T20 World Cup 2024. During the tournament, we saw that the track was difficult to bat on in the intial stages. However, as the match porgressed, the track settled down and help the batters to play their strokes. The track will be a bit tacky and the pacers who can use their slowers and cutters will be effective on this wicket. The spinners might play a big role in deciding the fate of the game.

The track at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium will be a bit tacky and the ball will stop on the surface while coming into the bat. However, the pitch will get easier to bat on with the progress of the game. The skipper winning the toss will be looking to field first.
