Pitch Report
- Chelmsford ki pitch aamtaur par batters ke liye jannat mani jati hai, jahan boundaries choti hain aur ball bat par acchi tarah aati hai.
- Shuruati overs mein fast bowlers ko thodi swing mil sakti hai, lekin jaise-jaise khel aage badhega, batting aasan hoti jayegi.
- Is pitch par pehle batting karne wali team ko kam se kam 190-200 runs ka target set karna hoga.
- Chasing karne wali team ko yahan choti boundaries ka bohot fayda milta hai.
