WOR vs LAN Outfield Report

County Ground, New Road, Worcester

The pitch at Worcester is expected to be a balanced surface offering some assistance to both batsmen and bowlers. Early movement may assist the pacers with seam and swing, but the wicket tends to flatten out as the game progresses, aiding stroke play. The middle overs offer spinners a chance to shine by exploiting any available spin and uneven bounce.

Weather conditions are forecasted to be mild with temperatures hovering around 20°C during the match. Expect partly cloudy skies with minimal chances of rain, making it ideal for uninterrupted cricket. Light winds may blow across the ground, but they are unlikely to significantly affect play.

Historically, scores at Worcester have ranged between 160 and 210 in the Vitality Blast, depending on whether teams bat first or chase. Teams batting first often aim for around 190-200, while those chasing have had success in the 170-180 range, suggesting that winning the toss and choosing to bat could provide a slight edge.
