County Ground Pitch Report
The County Ground in Bristol is traditionally an excellent, high-scoring venue with relatively short boundaries that greatly reward a fluent stroke play. The pitch management will be under scrutiny for this match as it is the second match of the day at the same venue after the Pakistan vs Netherlands match. While the track will initially offer sailors true, consistent bounce and early relief, it is expected to flatten out and become increasingly easy to hit as the sun warms the surface. However, as it will be a used strip, any early friction may yield regular spinners Murray Way and Affy Fletcher a little grip in the middle. Given that the chasing teams have so far dominated this tournament in Bristol – the scores have been easier to track under the changing lights – the captain who wins the toss will almost certainly opt to bowl first.
