On Monday night at Lord’s, London Spirit defied tradition and elected to bat first. They also triumphed in the game, which can influence others to alter their strategy. We are supporting both teams to take the field first, though.
Birmingham Phoenix vs Southern Brave Pitch Report
Expect a slow-moving, turning pitch because it was used for the Women’s Cricket at the Commonwealth Games last week. The outfield will move swiftly.
