PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The weather in Harare is expected to be cloudy & windy on match day, with temperatures ranging from 12 to 28 degrees Celsius. Winds will blow from the southeast at 12-16 km/h. It is a balanced pitch. The track at Harare provides an even battle between bat and ball. Early in the innings, the true bounce and fast outfield reward fluent stroke-making, allowing batters to score freely. As the game wears on, however, spinners come into play, making the latter stages more challenging for run-scoring.
