Generally it's pretty easy to prepare two pitches at once. Lots of games in this tournament are played on a used wicket too so I don't think pitch prep has too much of an effect on scheduling. I'm pretty sure most venues have a week between games and I think that maybe we (Eden Park) and Wellington would have it the toughest given we only have one 'drop in' in at a time. Aussie grounds with 'drop ins' have a full block of them in for their summer so they don't have to worry about doing wicket moves between games. It's not ideal moving a partly prepared pitch.
