Only one meter difference in the square boundaries today, down the ground above 70 meters. We've always had the factor of a strong wind coming from the east of the ground in the Caribbean, so the teams will be trying to make sure they use that when bowling and batters hitting towards the wind. Antigua has been quite privileged to have some ODI cricket in the recent past - 3 in 2021, 2 in the last year when these two teams met - all five have been won by the chasing team. Day night game, this has been a good batting surface in the recent past. Bowling first helps in restricting the team in the first innings, then you can chase it. The surface looks very well prepared. The grass is cut very low, and it looks rolled in nicely. The aesthetics are very pleasing, feels relatively hard enough. If it plays as it looks, the average batting score might be above 260, reports Nikhil Uttamchandani and Ian Bishop.
