Pitch Report: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York
The pitch is expected to favor the spinners and pace-off bowling, with teams preferring to bat first in day games. Recent weather conditions have been wet, potentially affecting pitch conditions on match day.
The captain who wins the toss will look to bat first and set a total. Both teams and spectators would hope that the drop-in pitch does not misbehave as it did in Sri Lanka’s six-wicket defeat.
