Teams batting first have struggled at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, with only one of three teams winning. We predict that both captains will opt to field first.
Pitch Report
The pitch has been prepared to be more batter-friendly by removing grassy areas. However, it remains challenging for batters, especially with the new ball. Any total over 155 will be difficult to chase.
