(Last 10 match)

The Rugby School Cricket Pitches generally offer balanced conditions for both batters and bowlers. The surface is known to assist seamers early on with some movement off the pitch, particularly under overcast skies. As the game progresses, batting becomes easier with the ball coming nicely onto the bat. Spinners may find limited assistance unless the wicket is on the drier side. A first-innings score of 260–280 is likely to be competitive here, but chasing teams have also found success when wickets are preserved in the initial overs.
