West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2021, 1st T20I: Pitch Report
Coolidge Cricket Ground (Antigua) will host this T20I series opener between West Indies and Sri Lanka. It will be the first international match at this venue.
This venue hasn’t hosted a men’s T20 match for more than a decade. In the early T20 cricket era, this venue didn’t produce many big scores. Even 165+ totals were much defendable at that time, but there were also a few successful chasing of 165+ targets. Spinners have better records at this T20 venue, while there are also some good records of big T20 scores, including John Eugene’s only T20 century.
