NZ vs BAN – Likely Pitch Conditions –

The McLean Park in Napier is known to be one of the best stadiums as far as run-scoring is concerned. Only five T20I games have been played at this venue with the batters enjoying their time in the middle. The skipper winning the toss will want to bat first and put on a huge score on the board. Napier’s Average score is 178 which suggests that there could be plenty of fours and sixes being hit.
