Sir Vivian Richards Stadium North Sound, Antigua Pitch Report for T20 WC 2024 Super 8 Stage
The average first innings score at Antigua in this World Cup has been low, partly because teams like Australia and England faced generally lower-ranked teams like Namibia and Oman. However, the upcoming matches will feature equally strong teams, promising more competitive games.
The pitch at Antigua is balanced and not known as a high-scoring venue. Batters need to play the initial overs carefully. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down, making spinners more effective. Bowling first is likely to be the ideal choice after winning the toss, given the high success rate while chasing in this T20 World Cup at Antigua.
