Pitch Conditions And Toss
A track to come out and bat first on with the team setting a target winning 80% of the contests played here, the pitch tends to get sluggish and see the ball grip and come slowly onto the bat in the second part. It’s a good surface to play your shots on in the first part of the match though with anything above 160 being deemed more than sufficient to win the match.

Little qualms for us in quenching the pick of Scotland’s wicket-keeper, Matthew Cross over here.
