Pitch Report :
The pitch at the SD College Ground is on the slower side, with the batswomen having to bide their time in the middle before going big. The pacers should get the ball to swing, making it difficult for the batsmen to get going from the word go. As the match progresses, the pitch should get slower. As a result, both teams will prefer batting first upon winning the toss. 120-130 should be a very good total, with spin expected to dominate the proceedings.
