England Women v Australia Women Pitch Report

The venue at the Lord’s Cricket Ground is highly favorable for the bowlers. Quick bowlers can utilize the slope to their advantage to get lateral movement off the surface. The pitch tends to slow down a fraction as the game progresses, which can further bring the slower bowlers into the game.

The average first innings score in men’s T20I on this venue is just 150, whereas teams batting last have struggled to chase on numerous occasions. Hence toss will play a crucial role and the skipper winning the toss should opt to bat first.
