England vs West Indies: Birmingham Stadium Pitch Report

A grassy surface with early swing on offer helps the bowlers, so batters need to be cautious during the powerplay. If the batting side doesn’t lose wickets early, they can start attacking in the middle overs. Spinners haven’t had much assistance here and have been expensive during the middle phase. The average first-innings total is 233. Teams batting first have won 24 times, while chasing sides have won 31 out of the 56 ODI matches played at this stadium. The team that wins the toss is likely to bowl first, as bowlers look to exploit the early movement from the grassy pitch.
