IND vs IRE: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report

The pitch at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium during the Sri Lanka vs South Africa match implies that the ball doesn’t come easily into the bat like most T20 tracks. Because the outfield might be faster and the pitches are slow, this surface is perfect for bowlers, who are rarely given support in this format globally. More crucially, openers’ lives are made difficult by swing bowlers who obtain early seam action here.
