Pitch Conditions:
University Oval, Dunedin
Recent history suggests a high-scoring match. In the ground’s last two ODIs, the Black Caps posted 330-6 against Bangladesh then chased down 336 against England in the Taylor onslaught, and in three men’s Super Smash matches this summer the average bat-first score was 194 so you can expect scores in the range of 180-200.
Newzealand hasn’t lost a single match at this ground in 21 years.
