Pitch Condition/Report:
We witnessed a low-scoring encounter in the last game, but the wicket by no means is unplayable for the batsmen. The surface is still helpful for the batsmen and the ball comes easily onto the bat, while bowlers can pick wickets only if they bowl in the right areas. It’s 170-175 kind of a wicket, where whoever wins the toss should bowl first.
