Pitch Report:
The pitch at Harare Sports Club in Harare offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Fast bowlers get some assistance early on with bounce and seam movement, but the surface tends to settle down, allowing batters to score freely. Spinners come into play in the middle overs as the pitch offers some grip and turn, especially in the second innings. Batting first is often preferred, as the pitch can slow down later, making chasing slightly difficult. A competitive total here would be around 150–160 in T20s and 260–280 in ODIs.
