Harare Sports Club Pitch Report for Zimbabwe vs New Zealand, 6th T20I of Tri-Series 2025
The pitch at Harare Sports Club is considered balanced, offering assistance to both batters and bowlers. Fast bowlers may get help with the new ball in the early overs, but as the match progresses, spinners tend to play a more crucial role. While bowlers do get some support from the surface, batting becomes easier once a batter is set. The previous match at this venue saw New Zealand chase down the target comfortably. Therefore, bowling first could be a better option for the team winning the toss on Thursday.
