PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Queensland would see a bright and sunny day on October 10, and the batting conditions are expected to be good. There is some assistance for the bowlers early on in this surface, but batters do well once settled. The side batting first would need 140 runs on the board to feel confident.

Venue Details

Carrara Oval, Queensland offers early assistance to the fast bowlers, but batters have also done well once they get their eyes set into this wicket. Spinners generally struggled here as there isn’t much on the surface for them and smaller dimensions of the ground adds to their challenge.

Toss: To Bowl

In the past, we have seen this surface offering assistance to the bowlers early on in the game and the conditions ease as the game progresses. Both the captains would have this in their mind at the toss and the one winning it should have little hesitation in opting to bowl first in the game.
