The pitch at Harare Sports Club usually favors bowlers initially. The new ball can produce swing and seam, but as the match progresses, the pitch becomes more favourable for the batsmen. The average score of the first innings is around 230 runs. It is better for teams to win the toss and bowl first on this pitch, as batting can become easier later due to dew.
