Here’s the pitch report of Trent Bridge:

Trent Bridge’s field isn’t green like it is at Lord’s or Old Trafford. The pitch in Nottingham frequently has a brownish colour and is nonetheless uninteresting. In all three formats at this site, good scores are still rather typical. Therefore, it is anticipated that Trent Bridge will be a particularly good batter time, and because of the pitch’s inherent sluggishness, spinners may also need to play a large role.

After almost a decade, England and Pakistan played their final T20I game at this location in June 2021. However, both sides scored a total of 343 runs in this high-stakes game, which is sufficient evidence of how the pitch will likely perform for the batters.

Additionally, the track at Trent Bridge tomorrow is projected to be flat without a grass cover, in contrast to the first two T20I locations where the tint of grass on the track had aided the seamers with the new ball.
