Edgbaston’s pitch in Birmingham is a hard, bouncy surface made from a blend of clay and grass, typically favoring both aggressive batting and fast bowling—especially in the early stages of a match. The consistent bounce allows batters to play their shots freely, while seamers can exploit extra movement. Over time, as the pitch wears, spinners may find more assistance. In T20s, the pitch remains flat and batting-friendly, leading to high-scoring games.

This Fantasy XI is formed with a sharp focus on form, career stats, and the unique challenge posed by Edgbaston in Birmingham, England. Make sure to lock in your teams before 11 PM IST and stay tuned for the fifth and the final blockbuster encounter between two of women’s cricket’s heavyweights.
