AFG vs PNG Brian Lara Stadium Pitch Report:

The surface in Tarouba played true to its sluggish nature during the game between West Indies and New Zealand. Because of rain in the lead-up to the match, some deliveries from good-length area outside off stump kept alarmingly low, and it was not easy to hit through the line. With the forecast for rain for Friday’s game, expect the pitch to become drier and aid more spin. The captain winning the toss is likely to bowl first because of the dew around.

The pitch at Brian Lara Stadium typically supports slower bowling. Early in the match, batters can time their shots with relative ease, but the conditions become more challenging as the game goes on. In the later stages, the surface tends to favor spinners, especially during the second innings. Captains winning the toss might choose to bat first to set a competitive target. As a result, spectators can look forward to an exciting and potentially high-scoring game at this venue.
