(Last 10 match)

The pitch at Uptonsteel County Ground is known for providing a balanced contest between bat and ball. It tends to be a true wicket that offers some assistance to both the batsmen and the bowlers. Early on, fast bowlers could extract some bounce and movement, but as the game progresses, it becomes more favorable for batting. Spinners may come into play in the middle overs, making it crucial for teams to rotate strike effectively. The outfield is fast, rewarding aggressive strokes, and teams will aim to chase totals in the second innings, given the dew factor.
