Pitch Report

Tafawa Balewa Square Cricket Oval has proven excellent for batting. The batters will aim for the shorter square boundaries, although variable bounce will be a factor to consider. There should be some assistance available for the spinners as well, resulting in a good battle between bat and ball.
