Pitch & Weather Report
Pitch Report:
Providence Stadium typically offers a surface that starts with some assistance to pace and seam—especially under lights. As the match progresses, the pitch slows a bit, with spin becoming more effective in the middle overs. Dew and humidity late in the night can make conditions more favorable to batsmen, especially for chasing teams under lights.
Weather Forecast:
- Based on forecasts for Providence, Guyana around this period, daytime highs are ~32-33°C (around 90-91°F), dropping to ~25-26°C at night.
- Chance of light rain or patchy showers during the evening; skies expected to be partly cloudy by match time.
- Humidity will be high, wind moderate (≈10-20 km/h), mostly stable conditions after sunset.
Weather Summary:
Expect warm, humid conditions; possible earlier showers likely to clear by match start. Partly cloudy skies, with some risk of patchy rain. Late-evening conditions likely favorable, though moisture may increase for bowlers’ grip and batting under lights could be aided by dew.
