PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Nottingham be partly cloudy on August 15 and the conditions are expected to be tough for the batters. The track has played slow, and batters would have to play the patient game and look to rotate strike. A score of 140 runs or more would be a good one for this surface.

Venue Details

Trent Bridge, Nottingham has a large outfield and hence there are less boundary scoring opportunities for the batters. They have to rotate the strike to do well in these conditions.  There is early movement off the surface for the fast bowlers and we have seen spinners enjoy good record here.

Toss: To Bowl

There is slowness on the surface and batters are finding it tough to score runs on this surface. We have seen low scoring games which is something both the skippers would have in mind at the toss. The side winning it is likely to have a bowl in this game.
