Edgbaston Birmingham Pitch Report: Is The Surface Batting Or Bowling Friendly?

The surface at Edgbaston in Birmingham generally offers good batting conditions. The fast bowlers will get some swing in the air; however, there could be minimal lateral movement on offer from the pitch. 

Therefore, the batters can enjoy the conditions especially when the ball is new and hard. However, scoring runs against the older ball might be tricky, particularly if the seamers vary their pace and bowl more change-ups than the regular seam-ups. 

Considering Edgbaston’s hot weather, expect a slightly dry surface where the spinners can get the ball to turn in the middle overs, especially in the second half. So, a total around 170 could be tough to chase for the team that bats second. Unless it’s a fresh wicket with a firm grass covering, the toss-winner should ideally bat first.
