Pitch Report
Gaddafi stadium pitch is excellent for the fast bowlers and that will definitely hurt Australian side who are without their star pace trio Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood. Batsmen can rely on middle overs to score big runs but we can’t expect a score of 280 plus runs while batting first.
