Lord’s Pitch Report:
The pitch at Lord’s is known for its famous slope, which can pose a unique challenge for both batters and bowlers. Historically, the surface has offered assistance to seam and swing bowlers, especially with the new ball and under cloudy skies. However, for The Hundred, the pitches are generally prepared to be flatter and more balanced, offering good bounce and carrying to the bat. While the famous slope can still influence the game, recent T20 matches have seen high-scoring encounters. The team winning the toss may be inclined to bowl first to take advantage of any early movement before the pitch settles and becomes more batting-friendly.
