Pitch Report
The Lord’s pitch for the WTC Final is expected to be batting-friendly, but with a twist:
✅ Batting Dominance – Once the ball gets older, batters will enjoy the true bounce and even pace.
✅ Early Help for Pacers – The grass cover will assist fast bowlers in the first 5-10 overs, offering swing and seam movement.
❌ No Assistance for Spinners – The pitch won’t offer much turn, making life difficult for slow bowlers.
📌 Average Scores – Teams batting first usually score around 310, while the second innings sees around 299 runs.
