PITCH REPORT
The Bellerive oval is a famous cricket stadium located in Hobart, Australia. It is owned and operated by the Australian’s cricket association operated by Cricket Australia. It serves as the home ground for the Hobart Hurricanes team. Many Big bash, T20 Internationals & ODI matches were played at this venue.First Test match was played in 1989 between Australian team & Sri Lankan team.
Bellerive Oval Cricket Ground is also known as Oval the one of the new grounds in the cricket world which is operated by the Australia Cricket Board. It has a seating capacity of 20000.
Overall, Bellerive Oval Cricket Ground holds a significant place in Men’s Big Bash cricket history and continues to be a prominent venue for domestic and international cricket matches in Hobart.
This pitch has served many matches of Men’s Big Bash League and in 60 matches 32 times the first batting team won the match and 28 times second batting won the match. So toss is not an important role for this match and the toss winner team will choose batting first.In 60 matches 47 times the team scored 170+scores that showed how much this pitch is helpful for batters.
Bellerive Ovall’s pitch is balanced for both departments. The last Big Bash match witnessed the batting first side crossing 150+ runs by Sydney Thunder and chasing team Hobart Hurricanes won the match by 7 wickets. However, the ground has huge straight boundaries ranging 80 metres long. The square boundaries’ size reads 62-63 metres. This suggests that hitting sixes on this ground requires power, making it risky to go for the aerial route.
In the initial overs, the bowling side needs to maintain a tight line and length, aiming to secure early breakthroughs to restrict the opponent to a low score.Pacers will be difficult to deal with up front as the wicket at the Bellerive Oval provides an early lateral movement with the new ball. If the batters manage to get through the initial stage of the game, unscathed, then they can stamp their authority on the contest as the wicket tends to flatten out as the game advances. The breeze coming in from the Derwent River assists the pace bowlers and makes life difficult for the batters. Talking about the Par score, the team batting first should aim to score at least 180+ to be considered a competitive total.
