Saxton Oval Pitch Report:
The fielding tin shows some seams early in the game, giving the pacers good opportunities to challenge the batsmen. However, if the attacking side successfully overcomes the initial threat with the new ball, they can take advantage of the small dimensions of the pitch to clear the boundary with ease. Spin bowlers are unlikely to get much support from the pitch.
