Pitch Report:
Pitch is expected to be balanced one with batsmen getting some what extra advantage. You can expect scores in the range of 165-185. J Inglis is expecting that run scoring will be easy on this ground unlike the Sydney ground which was 2 paced. Pacers generally get more advantage than spinners on this ground. Spinners get help due to large boundary dimensions, specially straight boundaries and long on long off.
