Pitch Report

The track at the Drummoyne Oval has historically slowed down as the game progresses. Hence, keeping that in mind, the skipper winning the toss in the upcoming do-or-die fixture will be tempted to bat first and put up a big score on the board in a bid to put the opposition under the pump aka run chase pressure.
