Queens Sports Club, Bulawayo Pitch Report
The pitch at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo is expected to be slightly dry. However, with an 85% chance of rain, pacers are likely to have the upper hand early in the innings, taking full advantage of the conditions for a considerable period.
Although the initial phase may be challenging for the batsmen as they adjust to the pitch, once they settle in, it is anticipated to become a batting-friendly surface. As the match progresses, spinners could also benefit from the conditions and pose a challenge to the batsmen.
Given the overcast conditions, the team that wins the toss will likely opt to bowl first.
