Pitch report and conditions
The third match of West Indies vs New Zealand will be played at Saxton Oval, Nelson. The pitch at this location is widely regarded as one of the best hitting surfaces in New Zealand. It usually provides good bounce and carry for the players and the ball tends to land nicely on the bat, making stroke play relatively easy for the batsmen. This pitch is also known to favor spin bowlers in the later overs of a game, especially after 20 overs, where the pitch tends to make some turns and provide assistance to spinners. However, the pitch can also help swing bowlers, especially during the first overs of the match when the ball is new.
Weather forecast for this match
Nelson’s weather forecast on match day is not very good. Rain is forecast for most of the day so it looks like we will struggle to get a match in.
