Aurora Stadium Launceston pitch report batting or bowling
Launceston’s University of Tasmania Stadium will be hosting its 2nd game of the ongoing BBL season. This stadium uses drop-in pitches as this is a multi-specialty venue. The drop-in pitches will ensure that there is a good amount of bounce and carry on this track.
The pacers have dominated on this track, and this was proved in the last match here between Perth Scorchers and Hobart Hurricanes as well. It is clear that the seam bowlers of both sides will play a huge part in this match. Once set, the batters can play the shots as their merit as well.
The average 1st innings T20 score here is just 145 runs which prove that the bowlers have dominated here. With shorter boundaries and a fast outfield, there is enough help for the batters as well. Considering the conditions, both captains may opt to chase upon winning the toss here in Launceston.
