Grand Prairie cricket Stadium Pitch Report ahead of Nepal vs Scotland
Grand Prairie Stadium is anticipated to feature a challenging yet accommodating pitch for bowlers. Nepal played their last match here against the USA, but they were unsuccessful, losing by 37 runs. This time, they hope to change that.
The pitch, particularly in the initial overs of the innings, offers some assistance to pace bowlers. The opening overs are pivotal for both bowlers and batters, as the fresh surface can favor fast bowlers early in the game.
