USA vs IRE Pitch Report
The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida is expected to favor the batters mostly. Although this is the first T20 World Cup game at Lauderhill, Florida, in this tournament, the venue has seen a few T20I matches earlier.
And the trend is that the surface helps batters initially. But it will slow down and bring spinners and medium pacers into play. And potentially leading to more wickets for the serial pacers as they can execute slower variations and cutters effectively. Also, this is the reason why 64.71% of the 16 games played here have been won by the team batting first. Which is enough to suggest that the pitch will favor the batters initially.
USA vs IRE Weather Report
The subtle bad news for cricket fans is that the forecast over the weekend is no better. According to a few weather reports, there are high chances of a thunderstorm in Lauderhill. And there is also a flash flood warning in effect, raising doubts about the game. The temperature is expected to be around 30 °C with 77 percent humidity, and the wind is expected to blow at 18 km/h.
