The pitch at Edgbaston in Birmingham is a good batting deck, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. However, once the ball gets a tad old, it becomes difficult to score runs. Cold conditions present at the venue also make a likely feature for bowlers to swing the ball & generate a good amount of seam movement. The team winning the toss will look to bat first.
The weather in Birmingham is expected to be chilly & a little wet as there is some rain expected on the matchday with 20% chances of precipitation. The temperatures will hover around 19°C.
The English Cricket Team has a better chance of winning this match as they are better equipped than their West Indian counterparts to win this match.
