Pitch Report: Headingley Leeds WCL 2025

As the Headingley playing surface in Leeds has offered good pace and bounce, providing great help for seam bowlers in the early overs and scoring opportunities for aggressive batsmen. As the surface wears, spinners may come back into the game during the middle overs. In T20 conditions, par score should be in the region of 170, and the outfield tends to be fast, benefiting aggressive strokeplay. Clear conditions are expected for this match, and that should provide ideal playing conditions.
