Warner Park Pitch Report 

The pitch of Warner Park is quite batting friendly, but it offers a fair game to both bowlers and hitters. The bowlers could get minor advantage after some time in the game; however, the strokes could be difficult as the surface of the pitch is sticky. The pitch has some seam movement, particularly as the ball ages.  

After getting some momentum, the batters could be beneficial from the surface of the pitch. In the start of the inning, the batters will have to take time to adjust to the pace and bounce and they must be cautious against spinners as they could get high bounce during bowling.  

As per the reports, the team who bat first have historically had greater chance of victory and vice versa.
