(Last 10 match)

The Hamilton Crescent Cricket Ground typically provides a batting-friendly surface, especially during the first innings. The pitch offers true bounce and carry, making it conducive to stroke play. Seamers can get assistance early in overcast conditions, but the pitch flattens out quickly. Spinners might find some grip as the game progresses, especially if the surface dries out. Chasing under lights can be tricky due to variable bounce in the second innings. Teams winning the toss may prefer to bat first and post a total in the range of 160–180, which is often considered defendable at this venue.
