HBH vs ADS Today’s Match Pitch Report & Condition

Bellerive Oval’s pitch tomorrow starts off a bit slow but gets easier for batting as the game goes on. Teams have been posting somewhere between 149-160 in the first dig, which gives you an idea of what’s par.

The quicks might get a bit out of it early with the new ball – there’s usually something there in the first few overs. Spinners don’t really come into play much here, so don’t expect them to dominate.

Toss is massive. Most captains are bowling first if they win it. Chasing’s been the way to go – partly because the pitch improves, partly because of dew that comes in later during the evening games. Makes gripping the ball tricky for bowlers in the second innings.
