Play in the West Indies Championships final resumed just after lunch on day one of the four-day clash on Sunday, following a brief but concerning interruption caused by hazardous pitch conditions at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium.
According to Antigua Observer, the match between the Guyana Harpy Eagles and the Trinidad and Tobago Red Force was halted after just four deliveries, raising immediate concerns about the safety and suitability of the playing surface.
Grounds staff at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium responded swiftly to the situation, working to address the pitch conditions before officials were satisfied that play could safely continue. Their efforts proved successful, allowing the final to resume following the lunch break.
With day one's play eventually getting back underway, the highly anticipated championship decider between the Harpy Eagles and the Red Force was left evenly poised, setting the stage for what promises to be a closely contested contest over the remaining three days of the fixture.
