Hobart Pitch Report
The pitch here, at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart, is a decent batting track. The batsmen find it easy to play their shots here as the ball comes easy onto the bat. The bowlers might not enjoy themselves on this surface. Hobart’s pitch does not offer much to the bowlers other than some initial movement to the Pacers.
With a batting surface as good as in the Bellerive Oval, any team after winning the toss must look to bat first. Putting big runs on the board in the first innings would mostly result into a win here.
