India vs England: Rose Bowl pitch report
The Rose Bowl pitch is considered balanced. Here both batsman and fast bowler get a chance. The new ball shows a lot of impact in the beginning of the match. Fast bowlers get good swing and extra bounce, due to which the initial overs are not easy for the batsmen. But as the ball gets older, batting becomes easier and big shots start coming. If the first 5-6 overs pass without much loss, then the batsmen can score runs quickly later on.
248 runs have also been scored on the Rose Bowl pitch
The highest score in T-20 cricket in the Rose Bowl is 248/6, made by the England team. That means if the batsmen are set then this ground is also known for big scores. If we look at the important statistics of this ground, the average score of the first innings is 166 runs, while the average score of the second innings is 138 runs. The highest score here is 248/6. It is clear from these figures that the team winning the toss can also consider batting first, especially if the weather is clear.
