Perth Stadium Pitch Report :
The pitch at Perth Stadium will help the pacers. A solid score on this wicket will be anything above 160, so batters may struggle. The team that won the toss might elect to bat first.
The pitches in New Zealand are excellent for batting, and the Hagley Oval in Christchurch is no exception. This pitch is fantastic for batting, and the hitters will have a terrific time in the middle. The course has an even bounce, so batters will have no trouble hitting their strokes.
The boundaries at this ground are not very large, and it will undoubtedly favour hitters, however the speedy outfield will provide complete compensation for batters’ shots. The pacers may benefit from the pitch in the early overs of the game, and because it is an open field, the breeze will undoubtedly blow in.
