WI vs ENG Pitch Report and Playing Conditions
The turf at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua has good assistance for the batters but it will also provide fair support to a spinner in comparison to the pacers. Batting at this surface will be quite hard in the middle overs. Considering that, the captain winning the toss might go ahead to chase down the target by picking to bowl first.
