Pitch Report
The pitch at the Basin Reserve is a batting paradise with an average 1st innings score of 157 runs. With the ball coming on to the bat nicely the batsman must be able to play shots on the upside. The pacers are expected to procure some initial swing with the new ball. There won't be much assistance on offer for the spinners and they will be the ones targeted by the batsmen to score some quick runs.
