Pitch Condition/Report:

The Hagley Oval produced high-scoring matches during the last edition of the tournament. Both the matches recorded 160+ totals which include a comfortable successful 166-run chase. Over the last two days, we have witnessed 150+ totals quite often and hence we expect the same to continue here in Christchurch where boundaries are marginally shorter.
