Saxton Oval Launch Report:

The pitch may show some seam movement early in the game, giving the pacers good opportunities to challenge the batsmen. However, if the batting side successfully negotiates the initial threat of a new ball, they can take advantage of the small dimensions of the wicket to clear the boundary with ease. The bowlers are unlikely to get much support from the field.
