Seddon Park, Hamilton: Pitch Report

Seddon Park offered better assistance to batters than bowlers in the first T20I. The surface allowed the batting unit to score freely, making it easier to dominate the bowlers regardless of whether they relied on pace or spin. For the bowling side, maintaining a disciplined line and length will be crucial. Any slight error in execution could prove costly, as the conditions favour stroke play and aggressive intent.
