Pitch Report
The pitches for the shorter format matches at Trent Bridge are very good for batting most of the time. They provide decent pace and bounce for the stroke players to put together big runs, especially at the top of the order. The short boundary on one side of this venue, allows the batters to hit sixes at will when they are set.
