Pitch Report
The pitch at Bready Cricket Club is expected to be a batting-friendly wicket, but the presence of grass on the surface means pacers will find some assistance in the initial overs.
Here’s what you need to know:
✅ Batting-Friendly Conditions – The ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batters to play their shots freely.
✅ Pacers Get Early Help – The grass cover will assist seam bowlers in the first few overs, making the new ball crucial.
❌ No Help for Spinners – The pitch does not offer much turn, so spinners will have to rely on variations.
❌ No Dew Factor – Unlike some venues, dew won’t play a role, meaning conditions will remain consistent.

✔ Avoid too many spinners unless they are genuine wicket-takers.
Weather Conditions
