Pitch Report

The surface at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua is an excellent venue for batting.  Fast bowlers have done well at the venue, and spinners also get their turn and bounce. However, the wicket played well in the first game but was slow, and the batters struggled a bit to time the ball. 

Weather Report

The weather forecast is expected to be partly cloudy. However, there are no chances of rain during the game. The temperature is likely to be around 28°C  with 80% humidity.

Prediction

Antigua and Barbuda Falcons will be under pressure after losing the first game. The batting lineup looked rusty, and the team needs bigger partnerships to create pressure on the defending champions. The Guyana Amazon Warriors have depth in their bowling attack and a strong top order. Hence they are favorites to win this game, credits to their batting strength.
