NZ vs SA: Pitch Report
Because of its favourable bounce and shorter boundaries, Bay Oval, which is well-known for its dependably fair playing surface, allows batters to score a lot of runs in the first few innings. However, because Mount Maunganui has had steady rain over the past three days, fast bowlers could be able to gain assistance from the surface.
