Australia vs Afghanistan Pitch Report
The pitch at Kingston’s Arnos Vale Stadium seems to favor bowlers. The ball doesn’t come onto the bat nicely on this sluggish, low delivery, so power hitters usually have trouble hitting it.
The sides have struggled to get going with the bat in the last two Twenty20 World Cup games played here, as evidenced by the average score not breaking the 120-run barrier.
