Lord’s Cricket Ground pitch report

The pitch at the Lord’s Stadium in London is one of the best sporting wickets in the world. This pitch has a history of helping the pacers, and the same can be expected in this match as well. However, there is a true bounce on the pitch, and the batters can play their shots freely after settling down.

A total of 66 ODIs have been played here, where 33 have been won by the chasing teams, 31 by the defending teams and 2 of them have ended in a tie. In the last 6 games played here, one has been a tie and five of them have been won by the teams batting first.

There will be an extra amount of bounce on this track like we saw in the last game at the Kennington Oval, and the pacers will be able to swing the ball as well in the initial overs of the game. The boundary on one side is quite small, and the outfield is fast as well which will be an aid for the batters.

The last ODI here was played between England and Pakistan in 2021, where England managed to score 247 runs and Pakistan got bundled out for 195 runs. Pacers of both sides bowled really well, and Pakistan’s Hasan Ali took a fifer. The average 1st innings score at this ground is 242 runs.
