ICC T20 WC, SA vs WI PITCH REPORT

Here's what Ian Bishop said during pitch report:

As we stand on this area right now, it appears to have enough grass, but not a lot of grass. It's quite short and cuts right through a very hard surface. It appears to be quite hard and could make an excellent cricket pitch. Because there will be no dew, the conditions will be equal. South Africa's pacers bowled a lot of back of a length against Australia, and they'll want to do it again against West Indies.
