Next up in the North Group is a clash between the Warwickshire Bears and Lancashire Lightning at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The Lightning are currently the table leaders in the North group and have cemented their place at the top. On the other hand, the Warwickshire Bears find themselves somewhere in the middle of the points table at the 4th spot.

So far, it has been a brilliant run for the Lightnings. Having won 7 out of their 9 matches, the Lightning have almost secured their spot in the knockouts. They are heading into this fixture on the back of a scintillating win over the Derbyshire Falcons and are looking good enough to secure their 8th win of the season in this game.

Having won 5 and lost the same number of games out of 10, the Bears would be hoping to tame the Lightnings and get going on the points table.

WAS vs LAN English T20 Blast 2025, North Group Match, Edgbaston, Birmingham, Pitch Report

The pitch at Edgbaston for the WAS vs LAN North Group clash in the Vitality Blast 2025 is expected to offer a fair contest between bat and ball. Historically, the surface here has been known for its true bounce and consistent pace, making it a reliable venue for stroke play, especially in the first innings. Batters who get in early can capitalize during the powerplay, but the pitch tends to slow down as the game progresses, bringing spinners and change-of-pace bowlers into the equation. Teams batting first have generally fared better, with totals in the range of 165–175 proving competitive. Given the surface’s tendency to grip under lights, captains winning the toss may prefer to bat first and apply scoreboard pressure.
