Lord’s London Pitch Report for MIS vs SUS
The pitch at Lord’s generally favors bowlers. Batsmen will have to settle their feet to be able to play shots freely. Both pacers and spinners have roles to play at this venue. Chasing at Lord’s is not easy and if there is scoreboard pressure then the batsmen may lose wickets in quick succession in a bid to hit boundaries. So, batting first will be a wise decision during the MID vs SUS game at Lord’s London.
London Weather during English T20 Blast match
