Harare Sports Club Pitch Report:

The Harare Sports Club's field provides a fair game of bat and ball. As the game goes on, hitters benefit from solid bounce and value for shots, while fast bowlers get early movement. In the later stages, spinners become more effective, particularly in longer formats. Because of the potential for dew, chasing is typically preferred in limited-overs matches.
