Pakistan Women tour of England 2024, 1st ODI:
Date and time: May 23; 05:30 pm IST/12: 00 pm GMT/01:00 pm Local
Venue: County Ground, Derby
County Ground Pitch Report:
The pitch at County Ground in Derby is renowned for its balanced nature, offering equal opportunities for both batters and bowlers. Bowlers can expect movement off the surface initially with the new ball, posing challenges for batters to score freely at the beginning of the innings. As the match progresses, spinners may become influential, particularly in the later stages. It will be essential for batters to employ footwork against spinners, as adopting an overly defensive approach could be detrimental.
