Providence Stadium Pitch Report

This is a venue where so many low-scoring matches were seen. Pacers have enjoyed bowling at this venue with the average first innings score is 123. Since the track is a little bit slow, it helps the spinners and thus scoring runs becomes harder as the match advances. However, the most recent Twenty-twenty encounter saw a team completing its pursuit of 150. So, this proves that teams chasing at this venue could be at an advantage but the result of the last t20i between India and West Indies could force the team winning the toss to bat first.
