Weather
Rain might not play its part in Sunday’s game if weather reports are to be believed. A few clouds are predicted but nothing besides that. Temperatures are forecast to stay around the late 20 degree Celsius.
Pitch
This season the Brian Lara Stadium pitch has behaved rather strangely. First batting teams were heavily favoured while chasing is a sin to commit. But now the track seems to be more supporting bowlers rather than the batsmen.
