US vs Canada, T20 World Cup 2024: Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report
Last year, the average batting score in 12 MLC games at the venue was 167, with teams batting first winning 8 out of 12 games. The pitch generally allows batsmen to be expressive with their stroke play, although the new ball can swing a bit under lights. As the surface hardens in the second season, the average first innings scores are expected to rise. Despite recent rain, the upcoming hot temperatures are likely to absorb any moisture, preventing it from affecting the wicket’s nature.
