USA vs NAM Pitch Report

Grand Prairie Stadium, Dallas, is a small ground with a quick outfield. Batsmen who get used to the pace of the wicket have done well at this venue in the past. Fast bowlers can move the ball in the early overs, but spinners don't have a great record as the small boundaries make it tough. The average first innings here is 249 runs, and the team batting first must aim to have 300 on the board.

Toss: To Bowl

In the last six games, the team chasing the score has won four times. This wicket offers some assistance to the bowlers at the start, and conditions improve for batting in the second half. The team winning the toss will aim to bowl first and restrict the opponents to a small total.
