Kensington Oval Pitch and Weather: WI vs NZ 5th ODI Preview
West Indies look to salvage pride in dead-rubber against New Zealand at Barbados on July 21.
The Kensington Oval pitch in Bridgetown typically offers early assistance to fast bowlers with pace and bounce, before settling into a true batting surface. Spinners may come into play as the match progresses. The team winning the toss might prefer to bowl first to exploit the conditions.
Barbados weather in late July is generally hot and humid, with temperatures around 30°C. While the forecast suggests mostly sunny skies, brief afternoon showers are possible, but they are unlikely to cause major interruptions.
West Indies, trailing 3-1 in the series, will aim to end on a positive note after a heartbreaking one-run loss. New Zealand, already series winners, will be without Daryl Mitchell but have momentum on their side.
