PITCH REPORT
This pitch offers batters love to bat as the ball comes nicely onto the bat. Pitch has some turn that’s helpful for Spinners also, especially during the second innings.Pitch is a bit dry which results in a few balls getting stuck on the surface which makes the strokeplay difficult in the second innings. The toss winner should opt to bat first on this wicket considering the minimal help the fast bowlers get on this pitch.
