Pitch

The pitch at Edgbaston in Birmingham is generally good for batting. The ball comes nicely onto the bat and the batters can play their strokes freely right from the start of their innings. The bowlers will have to be on their toes while bowling on this surface with very short boundaries on either side. The team winning the toss will look to bat first and set a total as the pitch seems to slow down slightly in the 2nd innings.
