West Indies vs Australia: National Stadium, Granada Pitch Report
The surface at the National Stadium, Granada, is dry and likely to be slow, helping fast bowlers early with swing and seam movement from the new ball. As the pitch wears out quickly, spinners could become a big threat on Day 3 and Day 4 by using the rough spots to get turn and make it hard for the batters.
Batting won’t be easy unless players show patience and skill, which will be key to purchase runs in these challenging conditions. The average first-innings total here is 275. The team winning the toss is likely to bat first to take advantage of the harder, newer ball early on, as the pitch is expected to slow down further as the match progresses.

The weather report predicts a rain threat on Day 1, with cloudy conditions to start the day and rain with thunderstorms expected later. Play is likely to be interrupted for at least 2 hours on the first day due to rain. Days 2 and 3 are expected to follow a similar pattern, although the chances of rain have decreased. On Day 4, the sun is expected to come out under partly cloudy skies, and Day 5 is forecast to have the clearest weather of the Test.
The overcast conditions will help bowlers early on, but batting is expected to get tougher due to the rain threat across the first three days. The weather will have a big impact on the toss, and the team that wins it is likely to choose to bat first, keeping these conditions in mind.
