Pitches In West Indies Can Be Slower; Going To Turn A Bit: Warner On Conditions In T20 WC
T20 World Cup: West Indies is famous for producing some of the best power-hitters in T20 cricket, but Australian veteran left-handed opener David Warner thinks amassing runs in the Caribbean during the Men’s T20 World Cup in June will be a tough ask due to slow conditions and ball turning a bit.
The Men's T20 World Cup will be jointly hosted by the West Indies and the USA from June 1-29. The last time the mega event happened in the Caribbean, was in 2010 when England beat Australia in the final to win the title.
Though batters have gone slam-bang in IPL 2024, it will be different in West Indies, where the aggregate run-rate has been 7.91 for Men’s T20Is in the Caribbean since 2021. It implies that altering the batting tempo and the right path to get big scores on slow batting pitches will hold the key.
