New Zealand Women’s tour of England 2024, 1st WODI:
- Date and Time: June 26: 12:00 pm GMT/ 01:00 pm local/ 5:30 pm local
- Venue: Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street
Riverside Ground Pitch Report:
Chester-le-Street’s Riverside Ground offers a balanced contest for batters and bowlers, with a twist. While most English grounds favour fast bowlers, Riverside’s pitch slows down as the match progresses. This shift in character makes spinners more potent later in the innings.
Interestingly, despite the average first-innings score being a modest 239, teams winning the toss often choose to bowl first, taking advantage of the initial conditions.
