Pitch Report

As seen in previous games, the spinners are expected to rule the roost with ample turn on offer. Although the pacers should also get some help early on, they are likely to revert to off-pace deliveries as the match progresses. Wickets in hand will be key for either side, with 140 being a competitive track at the venue. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, given the nature of the pitch.
