TIT vs ROC, Final Pitch Report:
The entire tournament has been played on this very ground. Hence, the pitch has now become a lot slower which was visible during both the semi-final game. The batters struggled to score runs and the bowlers were able to dominate them for the entire course of the game. This is most likely to repeat in this game as well.
