Pitch Report

The pitch at Bellerive Oval, Hobart, generally offered good conditions for batting. However, in the first Power Play, the fast bowlers will get good bounce and movement with the new ball, due to which the batters may find it difficult to play shots. But once settled, it will be easy for the batsmen to score runs on this surface. Spinners will also get help from the surface in the middle overs.
