Pitch Report

The pitch at Manuka Oval in Canberra is generally considered batting-friendly. However, if Bowlers maintain good line and length, they can definitely make an impact. Batting first is easier on this surface in the first innings, so toss-winning captains will choose to bat first. However, it will be the first game at this venue of the BBL 2025-26, so it will be interesting to see what the pitch offers.
