Pitch Report
Another high-scoring game awaits the two sides in Bangalore. The batsmen will look to bide their time in the middle before going big. Although the seamers have enjoyed the extra swing and bounce on offer, there is little margin for error. Both teams will want to bat first on the surface, with the pitch likely to slow down as the match progresses. 250-260 should be par at the venue.
