PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Queensland is expected to have a sunny and breezy weather on the match day with bright sunshine. No weather or rain interruptions are expected.

Venue Details

Carrara Oval pitch has a true bounce but pace has been slightly uneven on different lengths. Batters need to apply themselves before taking on the bowlers while the bowlers will look to use their variations to great effect on this pitch. We expect the average scores to be around 150-160 runs on this pitch.

Toss: To Bowl

The pitch played alright for the most part in the last game with uneven pace. Both teams will look to put the opposition to bat on this track and plan their chase according to the target on line.
