Trent Bridge Pitch Report
Trent Bridge in Nottingham is known for its balanced pitch that typically offers something for both batters and bowlers. In white-ball cricket, the surface tends to be true and provides good bounce, allowing stroke-makers to play their shots with confidence. However, early on, seamers can extract some movement, especially under overcast conditions, making the first few overs crucial for both teams. As the match progresses, the pitch generally flattens out, favouring batters, but spinners can also find some assistance if they hit the right lengths. Expect a competitive contest where a score around 150-160 could be par, with conditions rewarding disciplined bowling and positive batting.
