Pitch Report:
The first ODI will be played at the famous Queen’s Park Oval in Port of Spain. West Indies have won 27 out of 57 matches here.
Likewise, the Indian team has won 11 out of 21 matches. Captain Shikhar Dhawan (4) is the player who has scored the most fifties on this pitch. Thus, it is more likely to show action today.
This pitch batter is a favorable ground for bowlers. The average score is 223. However, with cloudy skies throughout today, the pitch is more likely to favor speed. Thus, it is very important for the team to field first to play calmly till the first 15 overs and not lose wickets.
During the 2007 ODI World Cup, India created history by amassing 413/5 against Bermuda on this pitch. This is the highest score on this pitch.
