Seddon Park Pitch Report:

Seddon Park’s playing field offers a fair advantage to both batters and bowlers, with seam bowlers expected to have a greater impact due to favourable conditions and the grassy pitch promoting swing and seam movement. Additionally, spinners may become pivotal as the match unfolds.
