BPH-W vs TRT-W: Pitch Report
- Generally, Edgbaston provides a fast pitch to the batting team. However, it can also offer a delicate advantage to the team that bowls first.
- Chasing sides have often found success here due to dew and slightly easier conditions under lights.
- The shorter boundaries provide ample hitting opportunities, especially in the powerplay.
- Those bowlers who have variations in the speed of their delivery and also make use of cutters normally do well on this pitch.
At this stadium, a result in the region of 135-145 would be considered a solid performance.
