Harare Sports Club Pitch Report

The pitch of Harare Sports Club usually maintains a balance for both batsmen and bowlers, but in recent years it is proving to be far more favorable for batsmen in T20 cricket. This pitch is flat and rigid, which helps the batsmen play big shots. However, fast bowlers and spinners are also dominated by this, because most of the cloudy in Harare are cloudy.

For batsmen

The uniform bounce on the pitch and the speed allows batsmen to play stroke with confidence. It becomes easier to score runs due to the square and straight boundary being short. This is the reason that the average score of the first innings here in T20 matches has been between 160 and 170 runs.

For bowlers

Fast bowlers get some swing and bounce due to light moisture at the beginning of the match, but they have to maintain an accurate line and length for success. At the same time, spin bowlers get the benefit of turn and grip from dry pitch in the middle overs. However, in the entire match, the bowlers have to resort to slow balls, yorkers and other variations to curb run speed.

Average score and strategy

Talking about the figures, the average score of the teams batting first in Harare has been 165 runs, while the target -pursuing teams have scored an average of 150 runs.

The weather will be favorable for cricket

On 26 July 2025, the weather is likely to be clean and hot in Harare. In the month of July, Harare usually has a drought season, and the temperature can live between 22 to 25 degrees Celsius. The possibility of rain is extremely rare, which will enjoy the entire match without any disruption.
