Simonds Stadium Geelong Pitch Report for ICC T20 WC 2022

The pitch at the Simonds Stadium provides good assistance to both, the batters as well as the bowlers. The pacers get the ball moving in the initial phase of the match which tends to trouble the batters a bit. However, later the batters can play their shots and post good totals on the board.

As the match progresses at the Simonds Stadium, it is seen generally seen that the spinners start receiving some turn. This makes it an even competition between the bat and the ball as the batters then have to play the spinners cautiously. Chasing a total may turn a bit difficult at the Simonds Stadium due to the slower nature of the pitch in the second innings. Therefore, it would be a wiser option to bat first after winning the toss here. 160 would be a competitive total on the Simonds Stadium pitch, Geelong.
