Toss West Indies chose to bowl vs New Zealand
The Providence Stadium pitch has been known to be on the slower side. Darren Ganga, inspecting the surface, said that its even grass cover meant that the pace and bounce would be consistent, even if the bounce would be slightly low. He added that the spinners would be “potent”. The straight boundary was 74m away while one square boundary was seven metres longer than the other.
