Pitch report

One can expect a flat pitch offering excellent batting conditions at Harare Sports Club. The batters will exploit the track's even pace and bounce to score runs, while the seamers will likely rely on cutters and variations to succeed at this venue. The spinners might get a hint of turn, particularly in the latter half. However, as it's the first game of the series, don't expect the track to deteriorate. So, the toss-winner might opt to bowl.
