Simonds Stadium Geelong Pitch Report

The Simonds Stadium pitch is a bowling-friendly surface hence the bowlers tend to dominate here generally. The batters find it tough to get going here as the pitch is on the slower side. In the initial phases of the match, the ball comes nicely onto the bat but as the game progresses it becomes difficult for the batters to play their shots. The pitch keeps slowing down which makes it quite a challenging task to chase here. The outfield at the Simonds Stadium is quite slow as well, hence, the batters sometimes do not get the full reward for their shots. In all, the batters will have to toil hard on this pitch in order to score a good total. Keeping wickets in hand towards the end would be the key at this venue.

As chasing has not been easy at the Simonds Stadium, the captains should be looking to bat first after winning the toss here. A total of around 160 would be a competitive total at this venue.
