Pitch Report
As history suggests, the pitch on this ground tends to favours the batsmen during the second innings. A lot of international matches haven’t been played on the ground and hence, the data sample size is small. However, since the weather is also expected to be clear with periodic cloudy skies, opting to bowl after choosing toss would be the best option for both sides.
