In Match 28 of the ongoing ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, England will lock horns against Oman on June 14, 2024, at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.

England, under Jos Buttler, has had a miserable journey so far in the marquee tournament and is almost out of the tournament. They lost their last match against Australia by 36 runs and their first match against Scotland was washed out due to rain. 

On the other hand, Oman has already been eliminated from the tournament as they have lost their three matches in a row.  This will be their last match in the tournament and they will try to end their campaign on a winning note. 

So ahead of this much-anticipated clash, let's take a look at the pitch of Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua. 

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Antigua Pitch Report

The pitch of the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is expected to assist both batters and bowlers equally at the start of the game, but as the game progresses the pitch settles down and tends to help the batters. 

In the middle overs, batters can play their shorts easily and freely as ball comes into the bat easily making stroke-play easy. 

Spinners will undoubtedly come into play in the second innings as the pitch continues to wear down. The average first innings score is 123 which suggests the England-Oman game could also be a low-scoring thriller.

The team that likely wins the toss will opt to bat first at this pitch and take advantage of the relatively easier batting conditions in the middle overs and putting up a challenging total.
