MO vs SB The Hundred 2024: The Rose Bowl Southampton Pitch Report

The surface at Southampton is expected to assist the batters slightly more. The venue has an average score of 160, ensuring a great battle between the bat and the ball.

However, its slower nature requires patience and skill from the players, especially early on in the innings. From the bowler’s perspective, this ground favours spinners more as the ball grips the pitch, making it tough for the batters to score freely. However, the initial phase provides assistance to the pacers, too.

Interestingly, Northern Superchargers hold the record for the highest score at this venue. It is expected that the toss-winning captain will opt to bat first.
