Edgbaston will host Pakistan vs South Africa on June 7 at Edgbaston Cricket Ground and then England vs Australia on Saturday, June 10 as part of the ICC Champions Trophy 2017.

So anyone going to the game may need a watering hole or two after the games.

There are fan zones set up in Birmingham city centre this year but if you want a drink near the cricket ground itself, we recommend to try one of these ....

The Old Moseley Arms

This former Ansells is a backstreet local, screening sporting events in the left side of the bar and a jukebox on the right.

Renowned for its curries and beer festivals, there is also a large outdoor area. The pub serves Wye Valley Bitter and HPA and Butty Bach.

Arguably the finest pub in the whole of Birmingham.

The Prince of Wales

The Prince of Wales is an institution in Moseley. And some believe it has the best beer garden in Birmingham. There are long Oktoberfest-style benches under shelter, little love seats for two and a hidden sand-strewn beach bar area.

The Physician

This £2.4 million real ale bar opened in Edgbaston in November. Housed in a 180-year old building that was once used for “middle class interests such as art and entertaining” it's perfect for a pint after the cricket.

The Edgbaston

If you fancy something alot more upmarket than your average pub, The Edgbaston is a must. We love the art deco decor. And if you're a cocktail lover you'll be in heaven. Two members of their bartending staff recently made it to the Diageo UK World Class Championships for cocktail making!

The Fighting Cocks

Dating back to 1899, before Moseley had ever heard of pizzerias or tiki bars, The Fighting Cocks was once king of the village.

A truly gorgeous pub, offering great food and a selection of drinks to rival any of its...er...rivals.

There is also a little beer garden with seating for up to 60 and heaters for when the evening chill descends.

The Edgbaston Tap

The Edgbaston Tap is a charming pub that serves a wide range of beers. But what we like about his place is its bar snacks to soak up the beer. The menu includes onion rings, spiral fries - all very reasonably priced. And a cheeseburger here is just £3.50.

There is plenty of parking and outside seating.

The Highfield

The Highfield pub is housed in a classy Art Deco villa.

This cosy pub is part of the award winning Peach Pub Company is it. And if it's a really late one, no fear - you can stay in the new Highfield Townhouse hotel next door.

The White Swan

There is some argument whether The White Swan is technically Edgbaston or Harborne but one thing is clear it's a great and very cosy pub perfect for post cricket match drinking in style.

Sports bars

If you are heading into the city centre you could try the sports bars in Broad Street.

This Australian themed place in Broad Street is always thriving during cricket season and a popular place to hang out and watch sport.

A more recent edition to the Broad Street scene, this place has the biggest non-cinematic screen in the city.

The sound system can be split two ways, too, enabling customers to listen to one of two commentaries from the four sports.
