How Will the Bellerive Oval Pitch Behave?

Initially, the pacers will be able to appreciate the movement and bounce, however, as the match progresses, the track flattens, transforming it into a batter’s paradise where runs can flow freely. Therefore, keeping track of the earlier BBL matches played on this ground, it is safe to say that the toss-wining captain will likely choose to bowl first.
