REN vs STA Weather And Pitch Report
Factors | Expected Conditions |
---|---|
Weather | Cool, breezy and partly cloudy |
Pitch | Bowling friendly with considerable bounce |
Weather - The weather looks pretty ideal for the Melbourne derby at Docklands Stadium! It’ll be a cool evening at 19°C, with a slight northeasterly breeze at 13 km/h keeping things comfortable. Humidity is on the higher side at 86%, but with no rain expected, fans can expect uninterrupted cricket under partly cloudy skies.
Pitch - The Docklands Stadium pitch is known for being a bit tricky. Fast bowlers usually enjoy the tennis ball bounce and the hint of seam movement early on. Batters will need to dig in and survive the first few overs before they can go big. Once the ball gets a bit older, it becomes easier to score. A score around 160-170 should make for a cracking contest.
