Here’s the pitch report of the Old Trafford Cricket Ground:

The Old Trafford pitch features good bounce and carry, which will keep the pacers slightly more engaged. Up in North England, the weather is frequently dismal and dreary. The unusual weather pattern helps the bowlers, but if enough effort is put up by the batsmen, they can also score some runs. Notably, in the last ODI, England pulled off the highest ODI chase ever against Australia.
