TAS vs VIC, Match 16 Pitch Report:
The last fixture played at the same venue resulted in a high scoring battle. Over 590 runs were scored in the fixture between Western Australia and Tasmania. We expect the trend to continue, as the pitch seems more suitable for batsman. However, fast bowlers could extract bounce from the wicket, which will work in their favor.
