ZIM vs NZ Pitch Report at Harare Sports Club:
Harare Sports Club, Harare has a balanced surface which slightly shows edge to the pacers. The pitch at this ground could have a bit of moisture early on, which might help the fast bowlers with the new ball even in the afternoon game. But as the match progresses and the sun shines, the surface is likely to become easier for batting. Spinners usually get some turn during the middle overs here. Since this is the first game of the series, the pitch should be fresh with good pace and bounce. Once the batters settle in they can take control and play their shots with more freedom. However, Batting second on this ground has been the more favorable option on this ground as the team batting second have won 33 out of 63 matches. Looking at the average first score, the team batting second has a higher chance of winning the game. It is expected that the team winning the toss is likely to field first against the opposition. Talking about bowling, it is highly possible that pacers could get some benefit with the new-ball.
