Injuries & Illnesses

There are no reports of injuries from either side

Pitch Report & Weather Conditions

The pitch is likely to favor the bowlers over the batsmen. The surface is likely to have some moisture as well as a covering of green grass, which allows the seamers to get some movement off the seam. The pitch gets progressively difficult to bat on, and chasing here will be difficult.

It has been raining in Lauderhill over the last few days and we are likely to see some rain on Thursday as well.
