The deck at Country Cricket Ground traditionally supports the batting side in white-ball cricket. Batters can pile up a lot of runs once they spend enough time in the middle. Out of the four WODI matches at this venue, teams have been able to register scores between 200 and 249 on three occasions.

This goes to show that there is something in the surface for the batters to capitalize on and bowlers will have to devise a robust strategy to earn their wickets.
