Pitch Report

Although a good batting track is expected at the Karen Rolton Oval, there should be enough swing and bounce on offer to keep the bowlers interested. The batters will have to bide their time in the middle before unfurling their attacking prowess. As the match progresses, the spinners should also come into play, making runscoring difficult. Both teams will look to bat first and make good use of the conditions upfront.
