Guyana Pitch Report
The pitch at the Providence Stadium in Guyana has always favored the bowlers. Because it has been a challenge for the batsmen to score runs here. The average run rate at this ground is just 7.08. This indicates the bowling-friendly nature of the ground.
Although the seam moment is less on this pitch, fast bowlers can take advantage of the two-speed nature of the deck. This means that after pitching the ball, the ball will come to rest.
Guyana has historically been a paradise for spinners. They usually get significant help on the surface of the pitch. So, expect spinners from both the sides to play a key role in this match.
The team winning the toss will look to bat first, considering the track deteriorates and favors the spinners heavily in the second half. However, keeping in mind the rain forecast, it wouldn’t be surprising if they bowled under cloudy skies and unleashed their fast bowlers on the opposition.
List of Players of Both Teams:
India: Rohit Sharma (captain), Hardik Pandya, Yashshwi Jaiswal, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant, Sanju Samson, Shivam Dubey, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Arshdeep Singh, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj.
England: Jos Buttler (captain), Moeen Ali, Jofra Archer, Jonathan Bairstow, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Ben Duckett, Tom Hartley, Will Jacks, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Adil Rashid, Phil Salt, Reece Tapley, Mark Wood.
This match is preceded by the first semi-final match between South Africa and Afghanistan at 6 am in Trinidad.
