PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies over Nottingham would be overcast on August 9. The heavy skies would make the batting conditions challenging. Bowlers who pitch the ball in the right areas will be rewarded on this wicket. The side batting first would need 150 runs on the board to feel safe in this game.

TRE vs NORS Pitch Report

Trent Bridge, Nottingham, is a big ground, and batting isn’t easy. Batsmen must spend time on the crease and accumulate runs at this venue. Fast bowlers get the ball to move here in the early overs, and batting against the new ball is tough. Spinners have enjoyed success at this venue as the ball can turn sharply here.

Toss: To Bowl

We have seen a good surface in the games played here so far. Batsmen have enjoyed the conditions and run chases have been easy. Setting up a total and defending it is always a big challenge in this format. Hence, the side winning the toss in this game shall look to bat first.
