Pitch Report:
Albert Park 2, Suva offers a batting-friendly surface with true bounce and consistent carry, making it ideal for stroke play—especially in the early overs. Fast bowlers can extract some movement under overcast conditions, but the pitch generally flattens out, allowing batters to settle and build competitive totals. As matches progress, the surface tends to slow down, bringing spinners into play
