Pitch Report

A good batting track is expected at the Mainpower Oval with help on offer for the pacers as well. Although the ball is likely to skid on nicely to the bat, the pacers will get some extra bounce and movement early on. The spinners might not get much turn off the surface, with the dimensions of the ground also going against them. Both teams will ideally look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 260 being a good total.
