Pitch Condition/Report:

The Bill Pippen Oval produced yet another low-scoring Women’s T20 match. Similar scores were recorded here in 2014 when Pakistan toured Australia. However, Australia A Women showed how good a track it was scoring at nearly 10 runs an over. If they bat first, we could see them touching 160-run mark as the pitch seems to be two-paced in the first half.
