NZ vs WI: Pitch Report

The wicket at the Eden Park is fast and bouncy. There will be good help for the fast bowlers with the new ball, as the wicket here is likely to have green covering. The weather conditions at this time of the year also bring more moisture for the fat bowlers. But the boundaries are not big, and batters can play big shots once getting settled here.
