The Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad features a sluggish pitch, known as one of the slower surfaces in the Caribbean. This makes it difficult for batters to score heavily, while spinners benefit from the significant turn and bounce available. Out of seven matches played here, teams batting first have won three times, and teams batting second have won four times. The average first-inning score at this venue is 161 runs. Teams winning the toss typically opt to bowl first.
