Pitch Report
The pitch in Birmingham has slowed down in recent matches, allowing bowlers to have a major say in the outcome of the game. While there should be some swing available early on, the batters will look to maximize the powerplay field restrictions. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with both teams likely to prefer chasing under the lights. 150 should be a match-winning total, with the ball likely to move a bit under the lights.
