The Edgbaston surface usually offers seamers some early movement so the Powerplay is tough for batters. Once you get past the Powerplay, conditions usually favor a more comfortable batting performance as the boundaries are shorter and offer value in terms of runs made for shots played. With weather conditions also in play, captains may prefer chasing under lights.
