IND vs IRE: Nassau County International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report Today Match
Nassau County International Cricket Stadium is a big ground with most boundary dimensions bring over 70 metres. Also, the outfield is very slow at the venue and therefore the number of boundaries are going to be very limited. A score of 140-150 could be a winning total on this surface. The pitch has uneven bounce and helps both pacers and spinners a lot. It will be a tough grind for batters. The set batters need to take the initiative here as it will be fairly hard for the new batters to start playing lofty shots on this pitch.
Nassau County Weather Forecast
