How will the pitch at Windsor Park be?
Even though Windsor Park is in the Caribbean country, the pitch here helps spin bowlers. West Indies off-spinner Shane Shillingford has 20 wickets in two Tests here. In terms of taking the most wickets, Devendra Bishoo is at number two and Nathan Lyon is at number three. That is, one thing is clear that there will be help for the spinner in the pitch. If this happens then the trio of Ashwin, Jadeja and Akshar can be seen playing. There has never been a score of 400 in Tests on this ground till date. That’s why hardly get to see big scores from the batsmen.
How will the weather be?
Dominica is surrounded by sea on all sides. Because of this, it rains well here. There is a possibility of rain on all 5 days of the match. It may rain the most on the last day. The temperature is expected to remain between 27 and 30 degrees Celsius all day during the match. This is considered to be the best temperature for a Test match. However, if it rains in between, it will only spoil the fun of the match.
