On Wednesday, hosts West Indies will take on India in the first Test of the two-match series at Windsor Park in Dominica. After a crushing defeat to Australia in the WTC final, India would be keen to get a dream start to the third edition of the cycle. In a bid to smoothen their transition phase, they have also dropped veteran batter Cheteshwar Pujara, replacing him with the promising Yashasvi Jaiswal in the Test setup. Meanwhile, West Indies, who recently failed to qualify for the upcoming ICC World Cup, would be desperate to make a statement in the series, as they have been scrutinised for their recent abysmal outings.
As the Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica, gears up to host this high-voltage face-off, let's see what the stats suggest about this venue.
Windsor Park, Dominica Ground Stats
The Windsor Park in Roseau, Dominica, has hosted five Test matches, with the first of them all held between West Indies and India in 2011. It will stage a Test match after a six-year-long interval, as the last red-ball international fixture conducted here was between the hosts and Pakistan, which the latter won by 101 runs.
Statistically, toss hasn't been a significant factor here, as both toss-winning and toss-losing teams have emerged victorious on two occasions each.
The hosts West Indies have a modest record at the venue, managing a solitary victory, against Zimbabwe, back in 2013. They have lost three Tests, while drawing the inaugural encounter against India.
The highest team total registered at the venue is 381 for eight by West Indies, while Zimbabwe holds the record for the lowest-ever team total of 141. The batters average 26.42 runs per dismissal, maintaining a slow run-rate of 2.77.
