AUS vs ENG Pitch Analysis

The Australia vs England 3rd T20I takes place at Emirates Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. According to records, it is a good-scoring ground in T20Is.

The average 1st innings total is 154 while the average 2nd innings total is 127. The stadium has witnessed 154 games so far.

Out of these, teams batting first have won 4 games while teams batting second have won 6 matches. Hence, toss does not play a crucial role.

The highest-ever team total at Emirates Old Trafford is 199/5, piled up by England against Pakistan in 2020. It was also the highest-ever total chased at the stadium.

The pitch at the stadium is flat and helps batters with the bounce. The Pacers also enjoy a good outing. However, spinners need to toil hard.

Since the stadium has not witnessed 200+ total ever in T20Is internationals, it cannot be dubbed as a high-scoring venue.
