The venue has hosted only a single T20I fixture so far, in which both Ireland and West Indies crossed the 200-run mark. The captain winning the toss could look to chase on the pitch, considering the batting friendly conditions. 

As for the weather, the conditions do not seem ideal for a game of T20 cricket. A significant cloud cover is expected during the game, and there are also chances of rain interrupting the live-action in the second innings. The temperatures are likely to hover around 30 degrees Celsius during the match.
