Ahead of the West Indies vs Bangladesh 2nd Test, let us take a look at the Sabina Park pitch report and stats.
The West Indies cricket team will face off against Bangladesh in the second and final Test at Sabina Park, Kingston, Jamaica, starting November 30. After a dominant victory in the first Test in North Sound, the hosts aim to clinch the series.
In the first match, Kraigg Brathwaite’s team dominated the fast bowlers in both innings, overwhelming the Bangla Tigers. Justin Greaves, an all-rounder, scored his first Test century to help the Caribbean team win by a commanding 201 runs.
Since the Sabina Park field is expected to provide greater pace with a new ball, Bangladesh is likely to replace Shoriful Islam with the youthful speedster Nahid Rana. The winning combination is unlikely to be altered by the hosts.
The Sabina Park pitch is typically batter-friendly, setting the stage for an engaging contest. However, spinners can expect some assistance from the surface, which could prove decisive. The fourth innings will be vital, promising a balanced battle between bat and ball.
Fast bowlers may also benefit from the pitch’s extra bounce, though it may be uneven, with some deliveries on a hard length rising unexpectedly. Winning the toss will likely prompt the captain to bat first, aiming to post a formidable target for the opposition.
