NZ vs AUS 1st T20I Pitch Report

The pitch at Mount Maunganui is a small ground and offers a fast outfield with a good bounce in the pitch.

The pitch could stay a bit damp which will bring momentum and seam movement during the powerplay. There will be swing for the fast bowlers early on, but it will settle down as the game goes on.

Once the pitch settles down, though the batters will have the freedom to score. Hence, the toss will be crucial and chasing is recommended.
