University Oval Pitch Report

Dunedin’s cricket stadium, like many grounds in New Zealand, favours batters with its smaller boundaries and flat pitch, ensuring an even bounce. The quick outfield adds to the favorable conditions, allowing batters to play shots with confidence and minimal risk. This challenging environment for bowlers, coupled with small boundaries, might prompt the captain winning the toss to opt for chasing, leveraging the batting-friendly conditions Dunedin offers.
