NZ vs SA 3rd T20I Pitch Report
The Eden Park at Auckland is batting friendly with short boundaries, allowing batters to easily hit fours and sixes.
Fast bowlers get some swing and bounce in the powerplay, but as the match progresses, the pitch flattens out. Spinners don’t get much turn, but variations can help them find wickets. The toss winning teams will opt to bowl first as chasing is easier in this venue.
