Pitch Report
Boland Park has the reputation of balancing its aid between the bat and the ball. The wicket produces less pace and bounce, and having said that, the batters will find it hard for the ball to come on the blade easily. The spinners can utilize the slowness in the surface at their disposal to crack open the innings.
