The Old Trafford in Manchester has been a good track for cricket overall. It has favoured the batters mostly, but the bowlers can also generate some amount of assistance from the pitch here in Manchester.

The batters can play their shots by trusting the bounce of the wicket, and there are no particular demons for them. This ground’s outfield is very fast, and the batters will get rewards for placing the shots in the gap. Even the boundaries of this small are not that big.

In the initial overs of the match, the pacers can extract some movement from the pitch. This pitch has a history of getting dry, and the spinners will come into play as the match goes on. Both sides have some decent spinners in the ranks.

A total of 8 T20Is have been played here, where 6 games have been won by the chasing teams. The average 1st innings score here has been 164 runs.
