National Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:
The National Cricket Stadium in St. George, Granada has been an immoral host for Test matches, only two games have been seen since 2015. But despite its limited use, the ground has left a strong impression on how the circumstances are in favor of the bowlers, especially fast bowlers. The last time an examination was played at this site in 2022 England And the West Indies, where the West Indies defeated England by 10 wickets, as a result some of the Australians expected against one side.
In that match, it was observed that the pace bowlers ruled the roast, offered a good carry to the surface, seam movement, and was sufficient to test the batsmen sufficiently in the air. The entire game helped the seamers a lot, as the wickets fell into the groups and the batting became a constant struggle. Given that the trend of preparation of similar weather and pitch is expected at this time, it is highly likely that this second test will be defined again how well the speed units of both sides adapt and execute.
