Nature of the Pitch –
The Bellerive Oval is a great place to watch cricket. The track generally provides bowlers with early movement, but the pitch tends to get better for batters as the match progresses. When it comes to the team winning the toss, it would be wise for them to choose to bowl first at this venue.
The start of play on this wicket is usually rough and uneven, with some carry and movement off the seamers. This is not a difficult wicket to bat on, but it does provide a good variety of deliveries for batsmen.
The pitch has a fair amount of bounce for bowlers but not as much as in other venues. The seamers will find it hard to extract too much from this pitch as it doesn’t offer too much assistance to them through its uneven nature around the stumps. The spinners will have a bit more success with their slower deliveries on this surface.

West Indies Team : Kyle Mayers, Evin Lewis, Brandon King, Shamarh Brooks, Nicholas Pooran (c & wk), Rovman Powell, Jason Holder, Odean Smith, Yannic Cariah, Alzarri Joseph, Sheldon Cottrell
