HUR vs REN pitch report: Bellerive Oval Hobart pitch report for BBL 12 Match 14

Hobart Hurricanes will take on Melbourne Renegades in the league game of Big Bash League 2022-23 at the Blundstone Arena in Hobart. This is the very first match of the tournament at this venue, and the pitch here has been really great for the T20 format of the game.

The Hurricanes have lost two of their three games in the tournament, and they will be eager to make a comeback. Asif Ali was at his very best in the last match, and the other batters would want to support him in this match. The bowling of this side also looks great as well.

Melbourne Renegades are on a roll, and they have won all three of their games in the tournament so far. This will be the last BBL 12 match for Andre Russell, and he would want to make a mark in this match. This team is looking in great rhythm at the moment.

HUR vs REN pitch report

After playing their first home match in Launceston, the Hobart Hurricanes will finally play at their home venue in Hobart ahead of Christmas. The Blundstone Arena in Hobart is an excellent stadium to play T20 cricket, and it is certain that the teams will love playing at this venue.

This is an excellent batting track, and the batters will definitely love enjoying batting at this very venue. The average 1st innings score in the 5 BBL games played here last season was 171 runs. However, in the recent T20 World Cup, the average 1st innings score was lowered to 151 runs.

In the initial overs, the pacers will have their say, whereas the spinners come into play in the 2nd innings of the match. One side of the boundary is quite small, whereas the other side is quite big. The spinners would want to take advantage of the bigger boundary.

The outfield of this ground is quite fast, and once the batters can get their eyes set, they will aim to score a big score at this ground. Both captains may chase upon winning the toss.
