Date: June 19, 2025
Time: 6:30 AM IST
Venue: Grand Prairie Stadium, Texas

Players battle
 Nicholas Pooran v Waqar Salamkheil
 Pooran’s bold hitting in the middle overs will encounter test from Waqar’s turn and unorthodox spin.

 Heinrich Klaasen vs Trent Boult
 Klaasen’s blistering starts might be restricted if Boult gets swinging and nipping early on and manages to catch him in the powerplay.

 Quinton de Kock vs Obed McCoy
 De Kock thrives on pace; however, McCoy can disrupt his rhythm with his subtle change of pace, luring him into making mistakes.

 David Warner vs Naveen-ul-Haq
 Warner’s aggressive intent may counter Naveen’s clever combination of breeze and slower balls in the powerplay.

 Kieron Pollard vs Sikandar Raza
 Pollard’s late-innings hitting muscle is up against Raza’s smart, tight off-spin under pressure.

Pitch Report

The pitch at Oakland Coliseum is balanced, indicatively providing good performance for batters and bowlers alike. Often the pitch offers up good pace and bounce and is more favorable to fast bowlers, particularly early and in cool conditions around the mornings. Batters will be able to play any shot once settled, but the surface will slow down as play continues; therefore, spinners may become more effective as the game type shifts to day/night. The boundaries are average length and provide an equitable contest between bat and ball.

• Bowlers: likely assistance for pacers early, whereas spinners will become more effective later.
• Spinners: Most likely to be effective during the middle and later overs.
• Field Size: average boundary length for balanced and an equitable contest for batters and bowlers
