GAW vs RAR Outfield Report

Providence Stadium, Guyana

The Providence pitch generally offers low bounce and favors spin bowlers, especially in the second half. On a slower pitch, batters need to rotate the strike often and approach their innings thoughtfully. Seamers who bowl cutters and hit the hard length can also thrive.

The forecast for July 18 indicates humid conditions with temperatures hovering around 29°C in the evening. A gentle breeze and scattered clouds are expected but no major rain threats loom. Dew might play a role in the second innings, favoring teams chasing.

At Providence, the highest first-innings scores in this tournament have hovered around 165-175, while chasing sides have comfortably chased targets under 140. A par score when batting first is likely around 155. Anything under 130 could be tricky to defend unless spin dominates early.
