The five-match T20 series between India and West Indies will kick off from today. Rohit Sharma will lead the Indian team in the T20 series. Apart from this, star players like Rishabh Pant and Hardik Pandya have also returned to the team.
The first T20 match between India and Australia will be played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. This match will kick off at 8 pm India time.
Pitch Temperament and Weather: This is the first international match at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium ground so not many predictions can be made on it but based on the Caribbean Premier League matches being held out here, it can be said that this pitch is for bowlers and bowlers can give equal assistance to batsmen. In games played here, runs have been scored at an economic pace of 7.40. Time can become a big obstacle in today’s competition. The probability of rain here has been given 80%.
