HEADINGLEY CRICKET GROUND (LEEDS) Pitch Report

Headingley Cricket Ground is holding the status of one of the best test playing grounds in the world. Like other cricket grounds in England, it has historically been favourable for batting. But later in the match, spin bowling will take over. Its pace also enticed fast bowlers to deliver inswings, outswings and bouncers, as evidenced by the records.

Test Match Pitch Report and Toss Factor:

While it is considered a good batting pitch, all eyes will be on the weather, whether the forecast predicts a cloudy day. As a result, swing could be on the counter top. The pitch is a batsman’s paradise in the first innings, so teams winning the toss usually choose to bat first for a winning score at Headingley. The bowlers must be patient and consistent to improve things by the third and fourth innings. During those innings, the batsmen begin to struggle against spinning bowlers, which causes the average score to drop like a stone rapidly.

In the last 8 Test matches held here, the team batting first has won 1 match and 7 matches was won by the team batting second. Due to bad batting, average run in first innings has gotten low, creating chance for the 2nd batting team to chase easily.
