Queens Sports Club pitch report
The batters have benefited from the Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo’s pitch, and the pacers have also received some assistance from the surface out here. So far in the tournament, this ground has produced some extremely competitive tracks.
In this tournament, eight matches have been played at this location, seven of which have been won by the team batting first, and the target has only been chased once. At this location, the average first innings score has been 168 runs, which is a very good score to defend.
The wicket bounces evenly, allowing the batters to play their shots with confidence. The shorter boundaries make it easier for batters, and the outfield has also performed admirably throughout the tournament. However, the pacers have been able to move the ball, and the bowlers have benefited from the cold temperature.
