Pitch Condition/Report:
When it comes to the nature of the pitch, it hasn’t been constant. From being a bowling track at the start of the tournament, it became a balanced surface in the middle phase, assisting batsmen and bowlers alike. Towards the fag end of the tournament, it has again changed its nature to what it was initially. Thus, a low-scoring game could be on the cards.
