The pitch at Central Broward Regional Park in Florida is expected to favor the batters mostly. Although this is the first T20 World Cup game at Lauderhill, Florida, in this tournament, the venue has seen a few T20I matches earlier.

And the trend is that the surface helps batters initially. But it will slow down and bring spinners and medium pacers into play. And potentially leading to more wickets for the serial pacers as they can execute slower variations and cutters effectively. Also, this is the reason why 64.71% of the 16 games played here have been won by the team batting first. Which is enough to suggest that the pitch will favor the batters initially.
