SOB vs BPH, Match 7, The Hundred 2025, The Rose Bowl, Southampton, Pitch Report

The Rose Bowl in Southampton is traditionally known for its balanced surface, offering something for both batters and bowlers. The pitch provides true bounce and decent pace, making it a favorable venue for stroke-makers who enjoy playing through the line. The fast outfield further aids run-scoring, allowing batters to capitalize on ground shots. However, with humidity levels ranging from 61% to 85% and a chance of cloudy skies with light rain, seamers could find early movement, especially under lights.

Spinners may come into play during the middle overs as the surface tends to slow down slightly, but overall, expect a batting-friendly wicket with a first-innings average score around 160–170 in short-format games. Captains winning the toss might prefer chasing, considering the dew factor and the venue’s chasing history.
