Famously called the Guyana National Stadium, the Providence Stadium is a multi-purpose venue established in 2006. While the primary establishment in Providence Stadium is for cricket, it can be converted into a multi-purpose facility.
The venue was initially built for the World Cup in 2007 as it hosted multiple Super-8 fixtures. The most notable fixture hosted by the Providence Stadium in Guyana was between Sri Lanka and South Africa in the Super-8 of the Cricket World Cup 2007. The fixture saw Sri Lankan legendary pacer Lasith Malinga rattle through the Protea’s batting lineup and scalp four wickets in four consecutive deliveries and change the course of the match, which was in South Africa’s favour.

Providence Stadium Guyana Pitch Report
This venue is known for its balanced surface, which keeps both batters and bowlers in the game throughout the contest. There is a decent movement for the Pacers early on in the innings, and as it progresses it becomes conducive to spin. The overall nature of the surface can be called slow as shown by the matches held here.
The batters may enjoy some degree of help, but it won’t be one-sided for them. Having a whack at the opposition from ball one wouldn’t be easy for any batter as the surface demands the batter to access the surface before going bonkers.
Chasing is more fruitful for the teams in T20Is with 7 out of 13 matches going in the favour of the team’s batting second. Three games have been washed out while three went in the bag of the team’s batting first.
