Star Sports Match Details
The opening match of WCL 2025 is scheduled between England Champions and Pakistan Champions at Edgbaston Cricket Stadium in Birmingham. The action begins in the evening – the toss will take place at 4:00 PM local time (8:30 PM IST), and the first ball is slated for 4:30 PM local (9:00 PM IST). Both teams will be eager to start strong at this historic venue under the summer skies of Birmingham.
Pitch Condition: Edgbaston’s pitch is typically known to be batting-friendly in limited-overs games, and fans can expect a run-fest in this opener.
The wicket offers a generally balanced track with decent bounce, aiding both batters and bowlers, and the average first-innings score in T20s here is around 159 runs.
However, with a clear weather forecast and the match being played under lights, batting first might prove advantageous for the team that wins the toss. Historically, Edgbaston has produced high totals – for instance, in WCL 2024 Pakistan Champions piled up 196/4 against England on this ground. Bowlers could have a tough time on what looks like a flat batting pitch, so a high-scoring contest is on the cards.
