Bellerive Oval is generally known for its consistent pitch, offering decent pace and bounce which encourages smooth stroke play. That said, the cooler evening air can help fast bowlers extract early movement with the new ball. Early innings totals are usually between 160 and 170. Teams often prefer to continue at this venue, as the surface tends to fade under the light, with dew sometimes influencing the latter stages of the match.
