The Lord’s Pitch Report
The Lord’s pitch for the Spirit vs Phoenix clash is expected to offer something for both bat and ball. With the short format in mind, the surface is likely to be on the firmer side, providing good carry for the pacers. There could be some early movement with the new ball, making it challenging for openers.
As the game progresses, the pitch is expected to quicken up, aiding stroke play. However, the bowlers will need to be precise in their lines and lengths to prevent big hits.
