Pitch Report
| Details | Information |
|---|---|
| Venue | Trent Bridge, Nottingham. Trent Rockets’ home ground. |
| Pitch Type | A generally balanced surface this season, with the highest first-innings total recorded here so far sitting at 159 for 9, notably more modest than at some other Hundred venues. |
| Scoring | Totals at this ground have been more contained than the tournament-wide trend of high scores this season, suggesting a fair contest between bat and ball rather than a pure batting paradise. This is worth cross-checking against ESPNcricinfo Statsguru before publishing. |
| Pace vs Spin | New-ball pace from Matt Henry and Mohammad Amir for Rockets, and Jofra Archer and Luke Wood for Brave, should find some early assistance, with Adil Rashid and Mitchell Santner’s spin likely to be central through the middle overs. |
| Toss Factor | With totals at this ground more contained than elsewhere this season, expect the toss winner to assess conditions on the day rather than assume a high-scoring shootout. |
