Pitch Report :

The pitch at the Bulawayo Qweens sports club is a traditionally batting-friendly surface where runs will come quickly. There is an even bounce on the wicket, and the batters can play their shots trusting the bounce. The outfield has also been great in the tournament, whereas the shorter boundaries make the job easier for the batters. However, the pacers have been able to move the ball, and the cold temperature works in the favor of the bowlers and thus the toss-winning captain would look to bat first.

The average first innings score here is 270 runs.
