Notts Outlaws vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks outfield report

Trent Bridge, Nottingham

On this pitch, both captains will aim to bat first because it will be an excellent surface to bat on early in the game and might get more exciting as it goes on. The weather in Nottingham will be clear and windy every day of the match. We only anticipate minor weather disruptions during the game.

Nottingham’s track will be athletic, with bounce, swing, and pace for the bowlers. For huge scores, batters must put in a lot of work. The new ball will tend to come to the ball nicely, thus the first hour will be critical.
