Because of the moisture maintained under the ground, batting has been difficult early in the match, and teams chasing the target have won the last three matches played here.
Pitch and Weather Conditions
Harrup Park is a bowling-friendly venue, and bowlers will have an advantage due to the slowness of the pitch. In the last three matches, teams batting first have scored less than 100 runs. In this match, we estimate both teams to score 120-130 runs.
According to experts, Mackay will have slightly gloomy and cloudy weather on match day, with a 10% probability of rain. However, we anticipate that rain will not have a significant impact on the outcome of the game.
