On that note, let us check out Grand Prairie Stadium pitch report ahead of USA vs Canada T20 World Cup clash.
Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium will offer a hint of seam movement to the pacers early on with the new ball. As it’s the tournament’s first game, expect a lively deck having a tinge of grass and offering some zip and extra bounce. As it’s an evening game, the pacers, particularly the hit-the-deck ones, will likely be more effective than the spinners.
Overall, it will be a decent batting track, with a moderate-scoring game expected in the World Cup opener. The skipper winning the toss at the Grand Prairie Stadium might want to have a bowl first and chase the total later on in the match.
