Pitch Report

The surface in Guyana has been brilliant for bowlers. Over the course of the game, the surface tends to slow down, allowing spinners to take control, while fast bowlers can find some support during the initial stages. This tendency for spin-friendly conditions often leads to lower-scoring encounters.

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 27°C  with 80% humidity.
