Pitch Report
There are almost no matches played at The Hague in the recent past so it is very difficult to gauge how the pitch will play out tomorrow. On the other hand, the pitch at Amstelveen has always supported the batters. So, if judging by the latter venue, then The Hague should also favour batters more tomorrow.
