Pitch Report:
The surface is slightly in favour of the bowlers where setting up the target is a huge task for the batters. Since continuous matches are being played over the last 2 weeks, the surface has become quite slower than normal. It’s a 160-170 kind of wicket, batting 2nd is a preferable option in the night matches.
