WI vs ZIM – T20 2022 venue & pitch report
The Hobart pitch is quite fast and comes with a lot of bounce. It is quite helpful for the batters. You may want to know that the average score of T20 internationals on this ground is 182 while the average score from over 50 domestic T20s is 169.
That means a score of anything above 150 runs in 20 runs is pretty good enough. We feel that the team that bats first and scores anything above 150 runs, then it is quite competitive enough. However, the toss is crucial and the team that wins it has already won half the war.

WI vs ZIM both team performance on this ground T20
The West Indies team has not played up to the expectations coming from a two-time champion. They have lost some popular names and are looking to settle down as quickly as possible. However, the Zimbabwean team depends too much on one man like Sikander Raza, an all-rounder who has taken most of the things on his shoulders often.
This will be the key for Zimbabwe, and if he fails to live up to the expectations, things can go bad. Though he has been a top performer in other games before the Championship, then the question of others rising up is the question.
