In the ten Twenty20 International matches that Trinidad has hosted, the side has won six by bowling first and six by batting first. One of the better batting grounds in the West Indies is this one. At this location, West Indies and Afghanistan won their matches with the bat, while New Zealand won the chase.

Teams have found it difficult to chase down the par score of 160. With the Kiwis' potent bowling assault, batting first ought to result in a safe total. As they did against Uganda, they can also try to chase swiftly by cheaply conceding defeat to PNG.
