The Grand Prairie Stadium has consistently produced batting-friendly surfaces in Major League Cricket. Big scores have become a regular feature at the venue, and the opening matches of the tournament have once again highlighted the ease with which batters can score once they get settled.
The quick outfield and true bounce allow stroke-makers to play freely, while bowlers often have little margin for error. Fast bowlers may find some movement during the opening overs with the new ball, but conditions generally become easier for batting as the innings progresses.
Considering recent results at the venue, another high-scoring contest could be on the cards. Captains winning the toss may prefer to bowl first and back their batting units to chase under favorable conditions.
Texas Super Kings: Faf du Plessis (c), Devon Conway, Saiteja Mukkamalla, Rilee Rossouw, Milind Kumar, Wiaan Mulder, Donovan Ferreira (wk), Calvin Savage, Noor Ahmad, Nandre Burger, Zia-ul-Haq, Marcus Stoinis, Daryl Mitchell, Akeal Hosein, Mohammad Mohsin, Joshua Tromp, Amshi de Silva
San Francisco Unicorns: Matthew Short (c), Finn Allen (wk), Lhuan-dre Pretorius, Sanjay Krishnamurthy, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Hassan Khan, Haris Rauf, Xavier Bartlett, Ravichandran Ashwin, Brody Couch, Peter Siddle, Ollie Peake, Aaron Hardie, Hammad Azam, Akarshit Gomel, Saideep Ganesh
