Pitch Report
The pitch is one where batsmen will have to work hard to score runs. The ball will grip on this surface. However, once batsmen are set, they will find the going a lot easier.

As the match progresses, the spin will play a major role with wickets in hand being crucial. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.
