Indian batter Ruturaj Gaikwad highlighted the challenging conditions at Harare Sports Club during a pre-match press conference. He noted the unique nature of the pitch, with variable bounce and double-paced movement making it tough to score early on, according to Cricinfo. However, once the ball gets older, the small boundaries offer opportunities for quick runs, he said.
