The forecast I saw yesterday showed the chance of heavy showers every hour up until about 17.00 local time. I tried putting Guyana into my iPhone weather app and it doesn’t recognise it exists.
 
What is a good score on this ground?
Just Googled it and found this.

Overall, in 18 T20Is at the Providence Stadium, 198 wickets have gone down at a strike-rate of 16.74. The average score in all T20Is at the venue is 142. In the T20 World Cups, the numbers drop to 130. Overall, in 18 T20I matches in Guyana, the teams batting first have scored at a rate of 7.50.
 
Feels like we've missed a trick by not bowling Moeen at some point (too late now).
 
I fear that it is way too many.

Feels like par is something closer to 135 to 140. (And when facing Bumrah and co, you want to be knocking a few off of par.)
