Birmingham Cricket Stadium Boundary Size
Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham is the home ground of Warwickshire County Cricket Club. It is one of the most famous stadiums in England and recently hosted the fifth Test between England and India. The players who were part of that test will be familiar with the conditions.
Edgbaston is known for its good batting pitch, as seen in the England vs India Test match. The pitch is flat, and the fast outfield helps batters when they place the ball well. The ground’s size also makes it easier for batters, as the boundaries are small.
The boundaries at Edgbaston are relatively short. The straight and side boundaries are 59-60 meters, and the shortest boundary is under 50 meters. This makes it easier for batters to hit big shots. In 2019, Virat Kohli also mentioned the small size of the ground.
So far, 5 T20Is have been played at this ground, and the team batting first has won all of them. The average score for the team batting first is 170 runs.
