TKR vs BT: Match Details

Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain: Pitch Report

The surface at the Queen's Park Oval starts out as a surface which favours batters, but tends to slow down as the game progresses. The bounce can be sluggish at times, with spinners able to get grip and turn off the wickets. The variable bounce can help seam bowlers in the middle and death overs. With this set to be an evening game, the effect of dew is also expected to be prominent.
