Blundstone Arena Hobart pitch report of HUR vs STA
A couple of matches of BBL12 have already been played at the Blundstone Arena, and it is interesting that the pitch has behaved differently on both occasions. The first match was dominated by the bowlers, whereas it was a batting paradise in the last match played here.
Generally, the pitch in Hobart is a good one to bat on as this is a flat track with an even amount of bounce. In the initial overs of the match, the pacers can move the new ball, and they will be a threat. The outfield of this ground is very fast, which will help the batters. One side of the boundary is very small, whereas the other side is quite big.
It has been seen that the chasing teams have done here, and the batters have got the advantage. A high-scoring encounter can again be on the cards in this match. Both captains have opt to chase upon winning the toss.
