HAM vs GLA Outfield Report

The Rose Bowl, Southampton

The Rose Bowl in Southampton is traditionally a good batting surface with true bounce. Seamers get early movement, but as the game progresses, batters find it easier to score freely. Spinners can come into play during the middle overs, especially under lights.

The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with no significant rain threat. The temperature during match time should hover around 21°C with moderate humidity. Dew may play a factor in the second innings, potentially favoring the chasing team.

At Southampton, first-innings scores in T20s often fall between 160–185. Teams batting first aim for 180+ to feel secure. The lowest defendable total in recent seasons has been around 145, but with chasing sides doing well, the toss becomes crucial.
