Pitch Report: The Shutter Central Broward Regional Park
Stadium
The pitch in Florida has been largely conducive to batting, especially when
it comes to the beginning of the match. However, because of the current weather
we have witnessed, this pitch may provide some help to the bowlers particularly
the spin bowlers early in the game. It is believed that the pace at this pitch
will decrease as the match continues to go on bringing in spinners.

expected thunder and rain showers.

Tector, Curtis Campher, George Dockrell, Gareth Delany, Mark Adair, Barry
McCarthy, Josh Little, Craig Young
Key Players to Watch
United States:
Monank Patel: His performance would be critical
because he is both the captain and a top-order batsman.
Ali Khan: The fast bowler can have a big effect if he can take advantage
of early seam conditions.
Ireland:
Paul Stirling: The team requires the experienced
captain to come to the crease and take charge with the bat.
Josh Little: As a left-arm pacer, he can pose a
threat in conditions that offer seam movement.
Conclusion
It is do or die for both the teams. A win for the USA will
take them through the Super 8s while Ireland will have to post large score
margins in their remaining matches. One of the factors could be weather with
possibility of rain interferences which may play a key role. An exciting battle
is expected since both teams will be playing to try and clinch a spot in the
tournament.
