The ICC has given ‘satisfactory’ rating to six pitches.

All eight matches in New York were low-scoring. These pitches were sharply criticized by experts and fans during and after the tournament. India played three group stage matches in New York while its match against Canada in Fort Lauderhill was washed out due to rain.
