2 Queen’s Park Oval Pitch Report
The Queen’s Park Oval pitch often stays true to both batters and bowlers. The pitch here is what cricketers often call as 'tacky’ as it gives hopes to both pacers and spinners, especially as the game progresses. But batsmen will have their moments especially if a team makes a good start as they can surmount that inherent middle-over lethargy.
