ENG vs AUS 1st T20 Pitch Report
The first T20I match of the series between England and Australia will be played at the Ageas Bowl Stadium in Southampton. The dominance of the batsmen can be seen in this match. There is not much grass on the pitch, so there is a possibility of a lot of runs being scored on a pitch suitable for batting.

The boundaries here are a little bigger compared to other grounds in England, so the batsmen will have to put in some effort to hit fours and sixes. The team that wins the toss on this ground will prefer to bowl first.
