Pitch and Stadium Report

At Central Broward Park, the pitch initially benefits hitters, particularly in powerplay situations. The pitch tends to slow down as the game goes on, giving bowlers more grip and increasing the difficulty of hitting strokes. Spin bowlers and those who use slower balls and cutter variations will profit from this modification.

Shortest Boundary Distance: 60 meters (as per ICC guidelines)
Longest Boundary Distance: 82 meters (as per ICC guidelines)

Pitch Report

Grand Prairie Stadium's recently refurbished pitch is predicted to favor hitters, which increases the likelihood of high-scoring games. The new conditions may help pacers during the powerplay, but overall, the pitch is favorable to batting. With the new ball, the surface gives an early indication of seam movement. The field is anticipated to be active with some grass, extra bounce, and zip during the tournament's first games. Pacers are probably going to be more productive than spinners in evening games. It should be a good batting track overall, with games expected to score in the middle range.
