NZ vs SL Pitch Report
The pitch at Bay Oval is a good batting track. The pitch provides good bounce and early movement, making it a high-scoring ground in Twenty20 International cricket.
Nevertheless, as the match advances, the pitch tends to decelerate, tilting the advantage towards bowlers during the later stages of the game. The spinners have better economy rate as compared to fast bowlers on this ground.
