Grand Prairie Stadium Pitch Report
The surface at the Grand Prairie Stadium of Texas is predominantly regarded as a batting friendly one. It provides a sufficient amount of help to the batters. The surface tends to remain hard and a decent amount of pace is present in it as well. Batters enjoy batting at this ground as the ball comes on to the bat nicely and they get the freedom to play their shots freely.
In terms of bowling, seamers get some assistance especially with the new ball in the first six overs. The new ball bowlers get sufficient movement in the early part of the innings which helps them to get early breakthroughs. But, as the game proceeds, the pitch turns into a batting paradise.
