EDC vs AAC Pitch Report at Edgbaston, Birmingham:
Pitch Report
The pitch at Edgbaston, Birmingham, has assistance for pacers, with spinners also drawing enough from it. During the recent Test between India and England at the venue, the visitors went with two spinners; however, the pacers got enough from the surface. The same is likely to be in the T20I series, with pacers likely to enjoy their time at the venue. With moisture conditions, the ground is likely to give a slight edge to the spin bowlers but depending on the weather conditions, the ground conditions may play differently.
