We've teamed up with Cricket Archive to give you all the stats you need to know to make an informed decision throughout the tournament.

Here, we'll give you a flavour of the history of IT20s to have taken place at Kensington Oval.

England may not have managed to get a result at the venue against Scotland earlier this week due to the weather, but the Australians got off to a winning start in Bridgetown after beating Oman.

The average score in Barbados over the course of the 25 completed matches played there is 159, and Australia just managed to beat the spread on Wednesday by posting 164-5 form their 20 overs.

Conversely, Oman's reply fell 15 runs shy of the average second innings score of 140.

In all, 81% of captains who win the toss and choose to bat have success at the venue – so don't be surprised to see Jos Buttler or Mitchell Marsh make that call tomorrow.

Australia are also responsible for the biggest winning margin at Bridgetown, a record set when they beat Sri Lanka by 81 runs during their ultimately ill-fated road to the final.

The highest powerplay score in a first innings is 77, with a low of 24, while the equivalent ranges for the second innings are 61 and 23.
