Sky Stadium Wellington Pitch Report

The Sky Stadium pitch is of true nature where even bounce is seen. Hence, the batters do not face much difficulty in judging the ball here. They tend to play their shots at ease and the quick outfield aids the scoring rate. The bowlers would have to bowl tight lengths to contain the batsmen here. The long mid-wicket boundary is something that the bowlers can bring into use. As the match progresses, the pitch tends to get a bit dry hence the spinners might play an important role at some point.
Captains should prefer to chase a target here if the toss goes their way. A total of around 170 would prove to be a competitive total here given the average 1st innings score here is 154.

Wellington Weather Forecast for the 1st NZ vs IND T20

Rain might play spoilsport during the 1st NZ vs IND T20 in Wellington according to the Weather Forecast. There is a 90% chance of rain during the match hours hence we might get to see a delayed start or a rain-interrupted match.
