Trent Bridge Stadium Pitch Report

Trent Bridge ground is one of best grounds of playing cricket. It is historically good for batting, but later spin bowling will start to reign. Its pace also interested fast bowlers to deliver inswings and outswings and the records speak the same thing here.

Trent Bridge Stadium Test Pitch Report

Test Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

The pitch is a heaven for batsmen in the first innings so that they usually decide to bat first for a victory score at Trent Bridge. The bowlers must be patient and consistent as the footmarks of the previous day bowlers make things better by the 3rd and 4th innings.In those innings, the batsmen start suffering against spinning bowlers, which is why the average score drops steeply. If there have been no county matches on the ground for several months, the pitch surface might grow a little grass that helps pacers a lot.

Of the 63 test matches held here, 23 teams won first batting and 17 won second batting, and 23 matches were drawn.

Here are the last 5 test matches average scores of all 4 Innings at Trent Bridge Ground:

  • Test Matches 1st Innings Average Score – 342.8 runs
  • Test Matches 2nd Innings Average Score – 305.6 runs
  • Test Matches 3rd Innings Average Score – 279.2 runs
  • Test Matches 4th Innings Average Score – 248.6 runs

From the average scores from the four Innings in the last 5 Trent Bridge matches in Nottinghamshire, it is possible to conclude that the first innings have very high average and the average score decreases with each innings.

The third innings has a lower average score because they declare the third innings earlier when the team scored well in the first inningss. The first innings score is readily apparent, as it becomes difficult to beat later. The dry pitch and flat wicket help the spin bowlers achieve success at the third and fourth innings of their bowling.

Test Matches Winning Record at Trent Bridge Stadium:

In the last 5 Test matches held here, the team batting first has won 3 matches and only 1 match was won by the team batting second. One is drawn.

Trent Bridge Stadium ODI Pitch Report

ODI Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

Because it is a batting pitch, the teams in ODI usually favor batting first on Trent  Bridge ground. Of the 49, 21 teams won first batting and 25 won second batting, while 3 matches had no results. In the 2nd innings, the pitch gets slow with time and the ball does not easily get on the bat, which makes it difficult to pursue the score for batsmen.

Here are last 5 ODI matches average scores of both Innings at Trent Bridge Ground:

  • ODI Matches 1st Innings Average Score – 280.5 runs
  • ODI Matches 2nd Innings Average Score – 262 runs

The pitch condition for One Day International matches is similar to the test matches scenario. In the last five games, the average scoring in the first games is much higher and all 5 matches were won by batting teams first.

ODI Matches Winning Record at Trent Bridge Stadium:

Trent Bridge Stadium T20I Pitch Report

T20I Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

Here in T20I matches, Toss has not played an important role normally. As the ground has a smooth pitch, we can expect the T20I teams will favor for batting first, mostly because of the dew factor. Since the T20I matches are matches of day and night, the bowlers find it difficult to control the ball at the second inning with their twisting on the pitch and this is a great positive factor in terms of power hitters.

That is why it is good to bowl first for teams winning the toss. Furthermore, only 11 T20I matches here. So, it is difficult to conclude.

Here are last 5 T20I matches average scores of both Innings at Emirates Old Trafford Ground:

  • T20I Matches 1st Innings Average Score – 144 runs
  • T20I Matches 2nd Innings Average Score – 131.4 runs

The average score in the first innings is only slightly higher than the average score in the second innings, based on the average scores of the last 5 T20I matches.

Of the 11 T20I matches held here, teams batting first have won 6 times whereas teams batting second have won 5 matches.

T20I Matches Winning Record at Trent Bridge Stadium:

In the last five T20I matches played on the grounds here, the team bowling first has won 3 matches and the team batting first has won only 1 match, while 1 match saw no result due to rain.

Trent Bridge Stadium Ground and Pitch Conditions

The pitch is flat and greenish-brown, making it ideal for batsmen and spin bowlers. Because the wicket is flat, the conditions are ideal for batting, with average scores of 400+ in the first innings of Test matches and 300+ in the first innings of ODIs. Pacers can get some extra zip off the deck, and depending on the weather, they can also get turn and bounce. The flat pitch in Test and ODI matches favors batting, and teams that win the toss prefer to bat first.

Because of the flat pitch and footmarks, spin bowlers can help cut down the chase in the third and fourth innings of test matches. Power hitters can make the game exciting in the case of T20I matches.

Trent Bridge Stadium Boundary Length:

The stadium has two ends namely the Pavillion End and Radcliff Road End. The distance from the center of the pitch to the boundary is about 72 meters onside and 60 meters offside, 66 meters on pavillion end side and 70 meters on Radcliff end side.
