The County Ground New Road in Worcester is renowned for its picturesque setting, with the River Severn and Worcester Cathedral providing a stunning backdrop. The pitch at New Road typically offers something for everyone. It is known to favor seam bowlers early on, especially under overcast conditions, but tends to flatten out as the game progresses, making it a good batting surface. Spinners also come into play later in longer formats, as the pitch begins to wear. The ground is prone to flooding due to its proximity to the river, which can occasionally impact matches during wet seasons.
