The County Ground in Derby serves as the home ground to the county side Derbyshire, with a capacity of around 9500. So, it is a very small stadium in terms of the crowd capacity.

A total of 7 Women’s T20Is have been played at this very ground, where five games have been won by the teams batting first, and the chasing teams have won a couple of games so far. The average 1st innings score has been 133 runs, so defending has been easy so far at the County Ground in Derby.

166/6 is the highest Women’s T20 score recorded at this stadium, made by England Women, whereas the lowest score has been recorded by the West Indies women. In terms of the Men’s T20 domestic games played at this very ground, this ground has really supported the batters.

There is an even bounce on the track, and the batters can play their shots. With the faster outfield conditions and smaller boundaries, the job of the batters becomes even easier. There is a little help for the pacers in the initial overs, but it has been generally a really good batting track.
