EN-W vs IN-W Pitch Report at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street:
The Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street has the most balanced pitch in the world and provides equal assistance to both batting and bowling teams. One can expect a pitch that provides support to the pacers with seam movement. The bowlers might find it easy to pick wickets with the new ball and later as the match progresses, the pitch offers pace and bounce. Batting on this ground, the batters will need to be calm and patient to read the conditions first and then take on shots to avoid falling short. As per the women’s ODI data on this ground, the batting first teams enjoy a comparatively better advantage than batting second, so, winning the toss, the captain should opt to bat first and then later defend the score. However the score for both batting first and batting second remains same for both the teams at the venue.
