Manuka Oval Pitch Report

The pitch at Manuka Oval offers a balanced contest between batters and fast bowlers. Early in the match, pacers enjoy significant assistance, with noticeable swing available. However, spinners may struggle, as the surface provides limited turn. As a result, teams winning the toss typically opt to bat first, aiming to set a challenging target.
