Bay Oval Pitch Report:

Renowned for its reliably even playing surface, Bay Oval provides batters with an opportunity to amass significant runs in the initial overs, thanks to favourable bounce and shorter boundaries. Nevertheless, fast bowlers might find assistance from the pitch due to persistent rain in the city of Mount Maunganui over the past few days.

Taking the weather forecast into account, the team captain, upon winning the toss, leans towards opting for fielding first to capitalize on the advantageous conditions.
