University Oval Cricket Ground Pitch Report:

{PC: X}
University Oval Cricket Ground in Dunedin is known for its batting surface, which has a drop in pitch that gives extra bounce and pace to the bowlers. However, mostly teams batting second have good records at this as compared to teams batting first. Spinners might not be effective at this venue, and they are expected to be a little expensive at this venue.
