QUEENS PARK OVAL (PORT OF SPAIN) Pitch Report
The pitch of the Queens Park Oval mainly aids bowlers, and batsmen struggle, in particular opening batsmen. Fast bowlers get a tremendous swing, which makes it very hard for batsmen on top as the new ball moves a lot. This pitch also gives fast bowlers additional rebound. The pitch also helps spin bowlers, providing spin bowlers well spinning and bounce in the middle overs. Batsmen also get most runs but domination of bowlers increases nowadays. The pitch is dry, which is perfect for both batsmen and bowlers. Batting conditions are excellent and average scores of 250+ in test matches are mostly common. The wicket is more flattered recently.

Test Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:
For fast bowlers as well as spin bowlers, bowling in this venue is much enjoyable and most bowlers get help from the pitch. In the first days of the test, it is a little easier to bat this pitch, but once the match moves onto the final days of the test match, the pitch will help fast bowlers more and more swinging and bouncing from the pitch. The spin bowlers get turns well and also bounce, and the spin attack on the 4th and 5th days of the test match is very dangerous. In the first innings the pitch is a utopia for batsmen, so the team which wins the toss generally decides to bat first to achieve a winning score. We can conclude that the average score in the 4 Innings in the last 3 test matches on Queen’s Park Oval Cricket Ground is comparatively lower to the first but higher in second innings, and with each of the subsequent innings, the average score is getting less. It is obvious that the first two innings can be easily scored as the swing is smaller. The dry spot and the flat wicket are useful to the spin bowlers when they bowl on those decks. In the last 5 Test matches held here, the team batting first has won 2 matches and the other 3 matches resulted in drawn.
Here are last tests matches average scores of all Innings at Queens Park Oval ground:
