Pitch Report

The strip in Harare is a good one to bat on as fans witnessed high scores during the one-off Test match. The pitch is expected to remain the same during the first ODI match as well. Spinners will have a major part to play when compared to pacers as the ball tends to turn more at the Harare Sports Club.

The toss might not play any role in the outcome of the match as the pitch will favor batsmen and bowlers equally throughout the game.
