McLean Park pitch report

The fast bowlers are expected to get initial seam movement with the new ball from the McLean Park pitch in Napier. While its natural pace and bounce helps produce fluent shots, spinners are also aided, offering little turn, especially in New Zealand summer conditions.

Batting is likely to be easier in the evening as the ball will come to the bat more cleanly. Teams chasing the target have won 26 out of 50 ODI matches at the venue, so the captain who wins the toss may prefer to bowl first.
