Canberra Pitch Report and Conditions

Everyone is watchful as bushfires are burning in Canberra. As a result, smoke haze has been prominent, and the air-quality will be monitored throughout the series.

The forecast is for a very, very hot 40 degrees. So, you feel the slow bowlers will have a key role to play on a traditionally slower Canberra pitch.
