Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui Pitch Report

The surface at Bay Oval gives fast bowlers a bit of a boost early on, especially when the new ball is in play, as it offers some subtle seam movement. But as the match goes on, the pitch tends to flatten out, making it more of a batter's paradise. Once the ball starts to wear, pace bowlers will have to rely on variations. Over time, the wicket slows down, which opens the door for spinners to make their mark. For them, accuracy is absolutely crucial.
