Pitch Report

The pitch at the Coffs Harbour is an excellent one for batting. Batters will enjoy their time at the crease and a high scoring encounter is expected in this game. There won't be much help for the bowlers with batters dominating the match. Bowlers from second innings may come into play if their batters manage to get to a good total. Top order batters from both teams will be important and this might be a tricky game to crack from fantasy perspective. The average first innings score here is 168 runs but expect it to be around 170-190 in this match. Teams may prefer chasing.
