On Wednesday, Australia will lock horns with Namibia in the 24th group-stage match of the ongoing T20 World Cup in the United States and Caribbean Islands. 

Led by Mitchell Marsh, Australia have been clinical in the tournament, occupying second position in the points table with two consecutive wins. 

On the other hand, Namibia are placed just below their counterparts with one victory in two outings. 

So, as both teams gear up for an exciting face-off, let's see how the surface in North Sound, Antigua, will behave throughout the contest. 


Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Antigua Pitch Report

The surface at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua, will offer a hint of seam movement to the fast bowlers early on with the new ball. 

While the seamers will enjoy the track's extra bounce, the spinners could also get some grip across both innings. However, the pitch has an even pace, so the batters can score runs once they get their eyes in. 

Historically, teams batting first have been more successful in Antigua, winning nine out of fourteen matches. However, of late, the venue has witnessed the dominance of the chasing sides, who have emerged triumphant on the previous four occasions. 

Furthermore, considering it's only the second match of this World Cup in Antigua, the toss-winner will likely bowl first.
