Pitch Report
The pitch at Sophia Gardens offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. It has good bounce and pace, which will help the fast bowlers, especially in the early overs.
The pitch tends to flatten out as the match progresses, making it more favorable for the batters. Spinners might get some assistance in the middle overs, but overall, it’s a good batting track.
Prediction
Given the conditions and recent form, Australia might have a slight edge, but England, playing at home, will be determined to put up a strong fight.
