Here’s the pitch report of the Queen’s Park Oval:

In the first two ODIs, the pitch strongly aided the batsmen, and the same is anticipated in this match. Due to the relatively flat field, the team trying to tie the score will be at an advantage. 

The steady bounce of the track will entice batters to it. Because the outfield of the stadium is so swift, the batters will profit greatly from their shot timing. In the first few overs of the match, the pacers will be able to advance the ball. The middle overs feature a somewhat slower pitch and will also make use of spinners.
