GUY vs SLK: Providence Stadium, Guyana Pitch Report

The pitch at the Providence Stadium Guyana is known for its slow and low nature and batting is generally difficult. The average score batting first in T20s at this venue is 153 while the average second innings score is just 136. So, batters have to apply themselves and spinners tends to get good amount of help from the pitch. The pacers can be effective as well by using their cutters and keeping it stump-to-stump with a bit of uneven bounce in the surface too.

There have been three matches this season where the team batting first has scored over 200. However, things have not been easy for the chasing teams and most of the games have been won by the team batting first. Also, captains winning the toss have preferred to bat first and we can expect the same tendency in this big game too. So, conditions are expected to be bit tricky, and Guyana Amazon Warriors surely with their experience of playing more at the venue and knowledge of the pitch have an advantage coming into this crucial game.
