How Will The Sir Vivan Richard Stadium’s Pitch Behave?
The track at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium is generally difficult for the batters to score runs on. The ball often sticks to the surface, which makes stroke playing difficult. However, with the progress of the game, the pitch settles down, the ball comes to the bat better, and it gets a bit easier to bat on.
Players To Watch Out For In WI vs ENG
