AUS vs PAK Pitch Report
Bellerive Oval, Hobart
This pitch is suitable for batting as the surface is hard which assists the batters more.
The short boundaries of the stadium also do the same, helping the batters to put a big total on the scoreboard.
Bowlers especially spinners struggle here in most of the matches and find it very difficult to take wickets.
Pacers in death overs, get some wickets but overall don’t get much support from the pitch.
So, overall this pitch is favorable for the batters only and is a heaven for the batters.
Key Players To Watch
Here are some most important players for your fantasy teams.
1. Marcus Stoinis –
- Batting – 3 Down ✅🔥
- Bowling – 3/4 Overs ✅🔥
This makes Marcus Stoinis a very important option for your fantasy team and a player to watch out for.
He will contribute with his power hitting in the middle overs and will bowl 3-4 overs as well which makes him an option for taking wickets as well.
Thus, he can contribute to both departments.
2. Glenn Maxwell –
- Batting – 2 Down ✅🔥
- Bowling – 1/2 Overs ✅🔥
Same as Stoinis, Glenn Maxwell will provide stability in the middle overs with his power-hitting.
He is a beast on batting-friendly wickets which makes him a very good option for your team.
3. Haris Rauf –
- Death Over Bowling – ✅🔥
- Short Pitch Balls – ✅🔥
- Express Pace – ✅🔥
This makes Haris Rauf a very important option for your team. He is a pacy bowler and normally these types of bowlers get success in Australia.
With his pace, he will trouble the batters of Australia who are mostly Power hitters, which makes there are high chance of them throwing wickets on his bowling.
Thus, Haris Rauf is a key player to watch out for in this match.
4. Josh Inglis –
- Technically Solid Battery – ✅🔥
- Plays Pace and Spin well – 🔥🔥
- 1 Down Batting – ✅🔥
Josh Inglis flopped in both matches but today is a very good option for your teams.
He is a player to watch out for as this is a batting-friendly wicket and the Captain will step up today to Cleansweep the Pakistan Side.
His selection is also very low.
