Grange Cricket Club Pitch Report:
The pitch at Grange Cricket Club is expected to offer a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early on, seamers are likely to take advantage of the fresh surface, using lateral movement from the new ball to trouble the batters. However, as the game progresses, the pitch should settle, providing batters with a more favorable surface where they can play their shots with greater confidence once they’ve adjusted to the conditions.
