STA vs THU: Pitch Report

Manuka Oval has a drop-in wicket, which will have good bounce and pace for the bowlers. There are not many games played here, but in the limited sample size, the wicket has behaved marginally more in favor of the batters. The batters can ride on the bounce and play their shots. The square boundaries are big, and bowlers can use them to deceive the batters.
