How Will Sabina Park’s Pitch Behave?

Sabina Park in Kingston, Jamaica has hosted 9 T20Is so far, with teams batting first winning five of them. The average scoring rate of 8.03 indicates a surface that offers something for both bat and ball. Top-order batters often flourish early on, but as the match progresses, the pitch wears and spinners come into play. Pacers using clever variations can also find rewards, troubling the hard hitters towards the end.
