Pitch Report

A decent pitch with help on offer for both the batsmen and bowlers is expected on Sunday. The pacers should get extra bounce and movement off the surface to keep the batsmen on their toes. Although there isn't much turn on offer, the spinners will have a say in the middle overs. Both teams will ideally look to bat first, with 160 being par at the venue.
