Pitch Report according to previous Records:
The pitch at Seddon Park in Hamilton, New Zealand, is generally balanced to heavily favor batters, though it offers early assistance to pace bowlers.With ryegrass cover on the strips, the new ball often "kisses" through nicely with good carry, giving fast bowlers early swing and seam movement during the powerplay.
Official Live Pitch Report:
Katey Martin and Scott Styris: It's a pleasant evening in Hamilton, a high of 16 degrees. It will go down to single digits later on. One thing about Hamilton, it's typically humid but not so much tonight. So expect maybe the ball not to swing as much as we're used to. This is, I believe, New Zealand's smallest cricket ground. Down the ground 68 meter hit, square on the leg side 63, and on the other side it's 60. So good luck bowlers. Pitch looks a belter.
