NZ One Day Trophy Pitch Report

The conditions are expected to favor the seam bowlers, given the breeze and windy conditions on offer. However, the batsman can score huge runs on the wicket given that the ball comes onto the bat pretty nicely in almost every ground in New Zealand. Team winning the toss would surely want to put the opposition to bat first, to exploit the windy conditions.
