THU vs HEA: Pitch Report
The match between the two sides is set to take place at Maniuka Oval in Canberra. Historically, it has been a venue where spinners get some purchases. Even the pacers get some swing early in the innings. Pacers are likely to have their say in the game with the extra bounce and seam on offer. With the progression of the game, batting might become easier. Hence, teams winning the toss are likely to opt to bowl first.
Batters have a difficult time at the venue in scoring runs aggressively. They have to look and score as many runs as possible in the Powerplay overs. In the middle overs, spinners might have their say in the game. Dew might affect the spinners here in the second innings. Hence, teams winning the toss must aim to score over 170 runs to be competitive in the match. One could expect a good battle between the bat and the ball in the faceoff.
