It will be cloudy in Trinidad on Friday. At least one hour of rain is expected. Humidity will be around 67-85% according to weather.com. The temperature will be around 24-31 degrees Celcius.

Pitch Report

It is a batting beauty as far as domestic matches are concerned. In the Caribbean Premier League, the pitch has seen many high-scoring matches. The highest score here is 183 by Trinbago Knight Riders. However, the cloud could support pacers early in the innings. Team chasing will have an advantage as there is a chance of rain.
