Sir Vivian Richards Stadium pitch report
The Sir Vivian Richards Stadium has hosted one match in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 and that came between Oman and Scotland. The clash saw a decent batting surface with Scotland chasing down Oman's 151-run target in just 13.1 overs with seven wickets in hand.
The surface shall suit the batters once again. There will be a breeze at this ground too which will play a notable role. The conditions will be cloudy but it does not have any major rain threats.
