Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at the VRA Cricket Ground with ample help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. The new ball should do a bit for the pacers, keeping the batters on their toes. As the match continues, the pitch could even out a touch, allowing batters to play their shots freely.
The spinners might not get much turn in the middle overs, although there is value in varying their lines and lengths according to the conditions. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss with the pitch not expected to change much during the game.
