West Indies vs Afghanistan Pitch Report
It is one of the good batting pitches in this tournament so far. Sri Lanka posted the joint-highest score posting 201 for 6 against the Netherlands and skittling them out cheaply to register a comprehensive win.
It promises to be a good batting pitch and with top-quality batters on each side, it could be another high-scoring match. The captain that wins the toss would likely bat first, post a big total, and then restrict the opponent with disciplined bowling.
