Pakistan tour of New Zealand 2024, 5th T20I:

• Date and Time: January 21; 05:30 am IST/ 01:00 pm local/ 12:00 am GMT
• Venue: Hagley Oval, Christchurch

Hagley Oval Pitch Report:

Hagley Oval’s pitch tends to favour pacers in the starting phase of the game, enabling them to capitalize on a swing during the initial overs. Nevertheless, batters are expected to have the upper hand against the fast bowlers as the ball undergoes wear and tear. Moreover, spinners have an opportunity to take wickets if they can accurately find the optimal length.
