Notts Outlaws vs Birmingham Bears outfield report

Notts Outlaws vs Birmingham Bears outfield report

This season has witnessed a number of high-scoring contests. The quality of the wicket didn’t change much in the second innings, and we’ve seen massive run chases. The winning team will prefer to take advantage of the early help for bowlers by bowling first.

On June 30, the sky above Nottingham will be partly cloudy. The batters are anticipated to face difficult conditions.

The surface may have something to offer bowlers, as the new ball tends to swing here. If there is swing available, players like Shaheen Afridi can have a tremendous game.
