Pitch Report:
Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe is a historic venue known for its dual nature—offering a batting-friendly surface early on, but gradually turning into a bowler’s ally as the match progresses. The pitch starts off flat, allowing batters to play through the line and build solid totals, especially in the first innings. However, as the game wears on, the surface begins to deteriorate, introducing variable bounce and aiding spinners and slower bowlers, who thrive in the latter stages
