Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is on the slower side with the batsmen having to work hard for their runs. The pacers might not get much swing early on, paving the way for the top-order batsmen to go hard in the powerplay overs. The middle overs will be crucial, with the spinners likely to play a significant role. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 160 being a match-winning total at the venue.
