West Indies are all set to host England for a multi-format tour that commences with a three match ODI series. The series opener is scheduled for December 3 at the iconic Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in Antigua.
It is worth mentioning that England are seeking a resurgence in the ODI format following a disappointing campaign in the 2023 ODI World Cup.

Sir Vivian Richards Stadium Pitch Report:
The cricket pitch at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium offers a balanced advantage to both batters and bowlers. While scoring runs may not be a walk in the park, batters can construct their innings effectively by patiently spending time at the crease and executing well-timed shots. As the match unfolds, spinners are likely to play a significant role, gaining influence as the game progresses. Therefore, the team winning the toss would likely opt to bat first, aiming to set a challenging target for the opposition.
