PITCH REPORT
Grand Prairie Stadium, located in Grand Prairie, Texas, near Dallas, is one of the venues for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. This stadium will host several matches, including the tournament opener between the USA and Canada on June 1, 2024.
Pitch Characteristics:
Batting-Friendly Surface: This pitch is traditionally known for being a good batting surface, especially during the initial days of a Test match. The pitch tends to be hard and true, offering consistent bounce, which helps batsmen play their shots.
Pace and Bounce: Fast bowlers can benefit from the pitch at Dallas, particularly early on when the surface is fresh. The pitch offers decent pace and bounce, making it conducive to seam and swing bowling in the initial overs.
Spin-Friendly as the Game Progresses: As the match progresses, the pitch Dallas tends to wear down, bringing spinners into play. The dry surface aids turn and bounce, making it challenging for batsmen to score freely against quality spin bowling in the later stages of the game.
Weather Impact: weather conditions in Dallas can have a significant impact on how the pitch behaves. Overcast conditions often assist swing bowlers, while sunny weather can help the pitch dry out and become more conducive to spin.
High-Scoring Venue: This Pitch has seen many high-scoring matches, with several batsmen achieving double centuries and teams posting substantial totals. The true nature of the pitch provides good value for shots, contributing to high scores.
Result-Oriented Matches: Despite being a batsman-friendly ground, The Oval has also seen a fair share of results, with bowlers finding ways to exploit the conditions as the pitch deteriorates. Both seamers and spinners have had success here.
This stadium is one of the largest in the USA; the longest boundary measures 76 metres here, while the shortest is only 55 metres. This stadium features two bowling ends: the Race Track End and the River End.
