Pitch Report
The Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas is known for being one of the most batting-friendly surfaces in the Major Cricket League.
The conditions heavily favour batters, making it a high-scoring ground where bowlers often struggle to contain runs.
Why Batters Will Dominate?
✔ Flat and True Surface – The ball comes onto the bat perfectly, allowing batters to play aggressive shots.
✔ Short Boundaries – The small dimensions make six-hitting easier, increasing the likelihood of big scores.
✔ High Average Score – The last few matches have seen totals above 200, proving how difficult it is for bowlers.
