Queen’s Park Oval, Trinidad pitch report
The Queen’s Park Oval offers a well-balanced track. We have witnessed high-scoring affairs at this venue in the past and expect the same in the Caribbean Premier League 2024. Fast outfield, short square boundaries and a belter of a track aid the batters.
The batters can hit through the line right from the start of their innings. The ball comes nicely onto the bat and the bowlers generally have a tough time bowling here. Expect them to go on missing their mark.
