SF vs NY Oakland Coliseum Pitch Report:
Once known exclusively as a baseball ground, the Oakland Coliseum has been specially adapted to host cricket for the very first time. While comprehensive data on the pitch is still scarce, initial observations point to a surface that should provide a fair contest between bat and ball.
The pitch is expected to be firm, offering good pace and bounce, which will likely benefit the fast bowlers in the early stages. However, the expansive outfield and consistent grass coverage mean that batters who get their eye in should be able to score freely. As the match progresses and the pitch begins to show signs of wear, spinners could find themselves increasingly in the game, particularly during the latter part of the innings.
