PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Christchurch will have a partly cloudy weather with just 10-20% chances of rain possibilities as per forecast. We expect a full match will very small interruptions and no loss of time in this match.

Venue Details

Hagley Oval has a good bounce and pace on the track, and it will aid the bowlers with the new ball especially. Batters will need to apply themselves to score freely on this track before going big. We expect the scores to be around 250-270 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Both captains will look to take advantage of early moisture content on the pitch due to rains before the match days. And chasing is the best option when we are unsure of the pitch conditions as this is the first match played here.
