Grange Cricket Club’s pitch is always been a brilliant track to bat on, and this was proved in the last match as well between both sides. This is a flat track with absolutely no kind of demons for the batters. The batters can play their shots by trusting the bounce of the wicket, and they will get the full reward for their shots.

With smaller boundaries, the batters can easily clear the boundaries, whereas the faster outfield makes the job even tougher for the bowlers. It was seen in the last match that the spinners got a little bit of help in the 2nd innings, but a brilliant batting track is expected in this match as well.
