Providence Stadium pitch report
The pitch at the Providence cricket stadium have always proven to be a slow surface. Owing to its slow nature, the pitch generally favours spinners who get plenty of turn from this surface. As such, teams should look to bowling first, which could have its advantages. The slow nature of the wickets makes it difficult for batters to time the ball and play their shots. However, chasing could also prove equally challenging due to the slow nature of the wicket.
