Pitch Report: Brian Lara Cricket Academy

The pitch at Brian Lara Cricket Academy offers good bounce early on, aiding fast bowlers with the new ball. Batting becomes easier as the ball softens, but stroke-making still requires timing over sheer power in the middle overs. A score of around 280–300 runs could be competitive here.
