How Will The Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium’s Pitch Behave?
The Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium pitch is generally good for batting. The true pace and bounce of the wicket help the batters play their shots freely. However, in the first match of the series that was played here, the wicket was a bit slow, and shot-making looked difficult. But in the last game, 439 runs were scored in total, and a target of 219 was chased down. So, we can expect another high-scoring thriller in this game.
Players To Watch Out For In WI vs ENG 5th T20I
