New Zealand and Pakistan will play each other in the second match of the tri-series at Hagley Oval in Christchurch. If we talk about the pitch report and consider the first game of the series, the pitch seems decent for the game of cricket with something to offer everyone.
The stadium so far has hosted three games out of which two games have been won by teams batting first whereas one game belongs to the team bowling first. The first game of the series saw Pakistan, who batted first, winning the game and it’ll be no surprise that the captain winning the toss would likely want to bowl first.
