Pitch Report:
It’s a good sporting wicket, and there will be enough assistance for the batters to score runs and even the bowlers will get support as well. It’s a tough ask to chase the targets here, and hence batting first is a good option. Looks like anything over 250 is a competitive score on this wicket.
