PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Mackay would see cloudy skies on November 14. The surface has looked difficult for batting as the ball hasn’t come onto the bat nicely. The slowness on the surface is assisting the spinners. The side batting first in the game would be happy to exceed a score of 160 runs on this track.

Venue Details

Harrup Park, Mackay is a small ground, and the shorter boundaries allow batters to play the ball in the air. However, the surface is challenging to bat on and fast bowlers get bounce and carry with the new ball. Spinners have enjoyed bowling here as the slowness in the surface can create doubts in the minds of the batters.

Toss: To Bowl

The wicket has looked difficult to score runs and the ball has stopped on the batters. There is a lot of assistance for the bowlers on the surface. The side winning the toss would look to make effective use of the conditions in this game by opting to bowl first.
