MSG vs WEF Pitch Report – Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester

Old Trafford has traditionally been one of the best batting surfaces on The Hundred, with true bounce at the start that usually slows down slightly as the innings progresses. Fast bowlers who hit the deck hard have found success with the fresh ball, while spinners can extract turn as their surface dries out in the back half of an innings, making a strong finish with the bat just as important as a quick start.
