HEA vs STR: Pitch Report:
Like many other Australian pitches, Carrara Oval is set up to benefit fast bowlers. On the first day, seamers will get early bounce and movement thanks to the grassy layer around the wickets. The deck is difficult to attack in the opening two sessions, which presents a challenge for batters. But as the day wears on, it’s expected that the ball will strike the bat better.
