NZ vs WI Hagley Oval Pitch Report:
New Zealand and the West Indies, who are currently involved in a multi-format series, will go head-to-head against each other in the first ODI scheduled to be played at the Hagley Oval.
The pitch at the Hagley Oval is expected to be good fr batting with abit of help for the pacers with the new ball.
If we talk about the pitch at this particular venue, it is expected to be good for batting, which will have something in it for bowlers as well.
The fast bowlers can make full use of the help that the wicket will provide if they pitch the ball in the right areas and see if there is some swing on offer.
If the case is so, then the bowlers can pitch the ball and make the batters drive in order to induce an edge to get them caught at slip or by the keeper.
If the conditions are not aiding swing, then they will have to switch to plan B, which should be to hit the pitch and bounce out batters.
As far as the spinners are concerned, there won't be much in the surface for them, and they will have to do the job of holding one end and create pressure on the opposition, which will increase the fast bowlers' chances of picking wickets at regular intervals.
The team that wins the toss should look to bat first in the opening ODI between New Zealand and the West Indies.
A score of 270-280 runs should be a good total for the team batting first, as the average first innings total at this venue happens to be 243 runs.
Both teams would look to put their best foot forward in an attempt to win the match and take an important 1-0 lead in the series, which can prove to be decisive with two matches to go.
Conclusion
New Zealand would want to continue their good record in ODI cricket at home when they take on West Indies in the first ODI, having not lost a series since the loss against India in 2019.
As far as the West Indies is concerned, the visitors can take confidence from the fact that they were able to run New Zealand close in most of the matches during the recently concluded T20I series between the two teams.
