Basin Reserve Pitch Report

The Basin Reserve in Wellington, New Zealand is a historic venue known for producing lively and seaming pitches that provide an exciting contest between bat and ball. It is one of the most sporting tracks in New Zealand, with a reputation for offering early assistance to seam bowlers. It will be a true test of skill and temperament for the batsmen. The pitch tends to have a greenish tinge, which indicates that there is likely to be some assistance for the seamers. However, the pitch usually settles down after the first session and becomes good for batting.
