Report on the Arnos Vale runway
The pitch at Arnos Vale Field in Kingstown, St Vincent is expected to favor bowlers, particularly spinners. Historically, this surface has been challenging for batters, requiring them to play disciplined shots to score runs effectively. The average first innings score at this venue hovers around 135 runs, indicating that low-scoring matches are common. The pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, which allows spinners to come in after the initial power play. Fast bowlers can take advantage of early movement with the new ball, making it vital for teams to lay a solid foundation before accelerating later in the innings.
