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 from the new ball, which may make it difficult for the batsmen to play shots. But once the pitch settles, it will be easier for the batsmen to score runs. Spinners will also find assistance in the middle overs.
