Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report Ahead of SL vs SA
The pitch of Nassau County Stadium has a slow outfield and unpredictable bounce which makes it harder for batters to score boundaries. In the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup, low-scoring games have been recorded on the Nassau County Stadium pitch. In the first SL vs SA match 3, Proteas all out Sri Lanka for just 77 runs. In the second game, Ireland’s whole team was dismissed on 96 by India.
Batsmen struggled to face the ball straight to bat, extra bounce also made it difficult to play. However, the scenario is totally different on the other side of the bat. The drop-in pitch from Australia heavily favors the bowlers most especially pacers. The untested Nassau pitch is expected to be the batters’ paradise but it looks like bowlers got their heaven in the United States.
