Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Pitch Report
New Road Cricket Ground is a batting paradise for the batters who get full value for their shots. The surface is nice and flat and there is hardly anything for the bowlers to work with. Furthermore, with shorter boundary dimensions, we can see the ball disappear out of the park on numerous occasions. Teams have breached the 190-run mark on 16 occasions.
Teams have successfully chased down targets in 32 out of 55 matches which is a clear indication that the track can be a nightmare for the bowlers if they miss their mark even by the barest margin.
Worcestershire vs Nottinghamshire Weather Report
The weather at Worcester is expected to be moderately cloudy with temperatures set to go as high as 23 C. But as we approach the evening, temperatures may plummet to 13 C. Humidity is going to be on the higher side, ranging all the way up to 95%.
