Pitch Report

The track at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton is a superb one to bat on and it has constantly produced high-scoring fixtures. In 2021, six T20 games have been played at this venue and the average score batting first at this venue is 180. The spinners have fared well while the pacers have also got some bounce and movement with the new ball. Thus, another batting beauty is likely to be in store for this game but the bowlers might just have something in it for them as well.
