Pitch Report

The Old Trafford stadium in Manchester has been a good pitch for cricket overall. It favours batters mostly but bowlers can also gain assistance from this pitch as the game progresses. The batters can expect a decent bounce from the track. The outfield in this ground is pretty fast and if the ball comes down the bat nicely it is expected to get quickly to the boundary.
