Pitch Report
As seen in the matches in the last week or so, the pitch is slightly on the slower side with the bowlers being key. The new ball might not do much early on, allowing the batters to play their shots freely. The spinners will come into play in the middle overs given the turn on offer. Wickets in hand will be key as always, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.
