Lord’s Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The surface at Lord’s in London traditionally offers an excellent balance between bat and ball, but for a high-risk T20 final, expect a fresh, hard pitch with good carry. Initially, the famous Lord’s slope combined with upper atmospheric conditions often provided little lateral speed for fast bowlers such as Lauren Bell and Kim Garth. However, once the batsmen get through the first few overs, the actual bounce will allow them to play their shots freely, leading to a high-scoring game. As the match progresses, the pitch may become a little slower, allowing elite spinners to be brought into the equation. Given that this is a grand finale pressure cooker, the captain who wins the toss will likely choose to bat first, get runs on the board and use the scoreboard pressure to his advantage.
