Pitch Report:

The pitch in Nottingham has turned out to be an excellent one of batting thus far. However, there is a significant amount of bounce on the strip for the fast bowlers. Under overcast conditions, batsmen need to be a bit wary, especially while facing the seamers. The deck has also favoured the team, batting first and hence, it won’t be a surprise if the teams opt to bat first.

Stadium Facts

Trent Bridge was first established in 1841 with a capacity of 17,000 people. Previously, it was a shared home of Nottinghamshire County Cricket Club and Notts County Football Club, but an overlapping of cricket and football seasons resulted in shifting of the football club to Meadow Lane. So now, Trent Bridge is mostly a cricket ground used for Test, One-day internationals and County cricket.

The venue has seen a total of 39 one day international being played, of which, 15 were won by batting first and the other 24 matches were won when the team chased the runs. This stadium hasn’t witnessed any ties as of yet.
