Pitch and conditions

Hagley Oval's pitch looks similarly green to that of Basin Reserve, and both teams are curious as to how it will play. "I think it actually looks pretty similar to the last wicket the day before the game," Smith said. "It's quite hard to tell how it's going to play until you get out there on the morning of the game when they've given it a roll and you see it for the last time."
