Pitch & Weather Report
Generally English Pitches provide a lot of swing and bounce when compared to the traditional Indian pitches. The batsmen will also rejoice the conditions out here with very minimal help for the spinners. The pitches at Old Trafford are greenish and this indicates how well the ball will come out on the bat.
The weather in Manchester seems quite supportive for a cricket match to be held, as there are traces of clouds all the way and no chances of rain. The temperature will hover around the early 20’s.
