NZ vs AUS 1st Test Match Wellington’s Basin Reserve Pitch Report
This pitch should provide a fair game for both bat and ball. The new ball will help the bowlers a lot in the beginning, and there will probably be a lot of movement. Later, spinners may find it hard to remove much from the surface. But once batters become comfortable, the runs should come in gradually. All in all, watch out for an exciting match with bowlers taking advantage of the early conditions and batsmen hoping to profit after they settle into a rhythm. This pitch promises a lively and hotly contested encounter, but it also demands patience and agility from both teams.
