Pitch Report

The pitch at GMHBA Stadium, South Geelong in Victoria, is a neutral surface. The ground is favourable for both batsmen and bowlers. Although it is a small ground, this gives batsmen a slight advantage, but the initial speed of the ball in overcast conditions favours fast bowlers. The average first innings score was 155, so this match is expected to be around the same score. The toss will prove crucial at this venue.
