🧠 Pitch Report + Weather
Hagley Oval usually offers a batting-friendly surface where teams posting big totals often hold the advantage. True bounce and relatively short boundaries help power hitters find boundaries, but disciplined bowling units can still fetch crucial wickets. Expect competitive totals in the 170+ range, and with clear but cool conditions, dew might slightly help the team batting second.
