The Bellerive Oval pitch in Hobart is usually great for batting, offering early seam movement and extra bounce for pacers. Spinners may find it challenging to get turn, and teams winning the toss might choose to bowl first on the fresh surface.
The temperature is expected to be around 22°C, and the forecast indicates no chance of rain.
