Pitch Report
Hagley Oval in Christchurch is known for its fast and bouncy surface, making it a haven for pacers who can exploit early movement and carry. Batters need to get through the initial overs cautiously but can find value for their shots on this true pitch once set. Spinners generally have a limited role here, though they may offer control in the middle overs. With an average first innings score of 153 runs, teams winning the toss often choose to bowl first, aiming to maximize the assistance for fast bowlers and set up a comfortable chase later.
