SA vs ENG Pitch Report
The Old Trafford pitch is usually high scoring, but it is not a flat pitch. The pitch has good bounce and carry, allowing batsmen to play their shots freely. However, bowlers who vary their pace with slower balls and cutters can also find success here. Traditionally, teams chasing targets on this ground have an edge, as the pitch remains the same throughout the match.
Teams usually score 170-180 runs in the first innings as the surface offers good bounce and pace initially, which helps the fast bowlers.
