Bay Oval Pitch Report

The Bay Oval hosted its first Test Match only in November 2019. There are runs to be had in the first two innings if batters apply themselves, however as the pitch wears down it becomes diffcult in the last two innings. Load up your NZ vs Eng Dream11 teams with as many pacers as you can given the swinging conditions.
