For tonight’s World Cup clash at Headingley, the Leeds pitch is expected to be a typical English track, balancing a fast outside pitch with real bounce. Given the local start time of 18:30, the above conditions and cool evening air will help the fast bowlers significantly and allow for early swing and seam movement during the powerplay. However, as the game progresses, it will be made into a great surface for stroke play. The track also tends to slow down and catch quite a bit, giving elite spinners plenty of control in the middle overs, making batting first an ideal choice.
