The ongoing England vs New Zealand T20 series has been a one-sided contest so far. The English side has treated the Kiwis like a minnow team. The Jos Buttler-led side comfortably won the first two games of the 4-match series. Now, New Zealand will be in a do-or-die situation during the upcoming game at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Meanwhile, you would like to know about the playing conditions of the venue such as the Edgbaston Birmingham pitch report, T20 records, and weather forecast during the ENG vs NZ T20. You have arrived at the right place if you are seeking information regarding Birmingham Cricket Stadium.

Edgbaston Cricket Ground has been hosting white-ball international matches since 1972, commencing with an ODI between England and Australia. In addition to serving as the home ground for the England Cricket Team, Edgbaston Cricket Ground also provides a home for the Warwickshire County team. The Hundred side Birmingham Phoenix is also a tenant of the Edgbaston Stadium. Recently, the venue hosted four men’s The Hundred games.

The first-ever T20I at Edgbaston Birmingham was played in 2010 and so far it has hosted 6 games of the shortest international format (men’s). The most recent international T20 at the venue took place in July 2022, where England faced Rohit Sharma-led India. Interestingly, in the 6 men’s T20I games so far, no team has succeded in chasing a target at the Edgbaston Birmingham pitch.

Edgbaston Birmingham Pitch Report for ENG vs NZ T20

If we look at past T20 records, the Edgbaston Birmingham pitch has generally remained batting-friendly. Pacers will reap the fruits if they stick to good line and length. Spinners usually don’t get much help from the surface and may get only 4 to 6 overs to bowl.

Average 1st innings total of 180 in T20Is proves that it is a good surface to bat on. The recently concluded The Hundred tournament also witnessed some high-scoring 1st innings scores here. However, the team which bats second has a low success rate here. In fact, in T20 international cricket no side has ever chased a target at Edgbaston. But that doesn’t mean it’s a bad surface to bat second. The toss winner can choose anything according to the conditions but scoreboard pressure will be there during the 2nd innings.
