Riverside Ground Chester-Le-Street Pitch Report For Australia Vs England 3rd ODI

Riverside Ground, Chester-Le-Street [X]Riverside Ground, Chester-Le-Street [X]

On Tuesday, Australia will take on England in the third One-Day International of the ongoing five-match series. The high-octane clash will take place at the Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street. 

Despite missing several key players in the first game, Australia chased a whopping target in the first match, thanks to Travis Head's batting masterclass. In the subsequent affair, Alex Carey emerged as their wrecker-in-chief with the bat, guiding them to a respectable score following a top-order collapse. 

On the other hand, the Englishmen should regroup and address their grey areas, having incurred two successive losses in the series. The onus will be on their batters, particularly Will Jacks, Phil Salt, Harry Brook and Liam Livingstone to neutralise the Aussie attack. Meanwhile, Adil Rashid, who recently entered the 200-wicket club in ODIs, will play a vital role with the ball alongside Matthew Potts. 

So, as the Three Lions gear up to secure a win and stay alive in the series, let's see how the surface at Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street will behave throughout the contest. 

Riverside Ground Chester-Le-Street Pitch Report

The pitch at Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street generally offers excellent batting conditions. Although the fast bowlers will get a hint of seam movement early on with the new ball, the batters will find it easy to get going as the game progresses. The track's even pace and bounce aid in strokeplay, so expect the batters to dominate the bowlers at this venue. 

However, as it's late summer in the UK, the spinners will get some turn off the surface, particularly in the second half of the game. Since 2019, teams batting first have been slightly more successful than the chasing sides in Chester-Le-Street. So, unless the track has a tinge of green on it, expect the toss-winning team to bat first and put runs on the board.
