Providence Stadium Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Province stadium is renowned for its balanced nature, providing an equitable contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers initially benefit from atmospheric conditions that favour swing and seam movement, while spinners become more effective as the match advances.
