Pitch Report
The stadium is currently considered favoured towards the bowlers due to its expansive boundary and bouncy pitch that will pose a steep challenge for the batters to achieve high scores.
The wicket will be a drop-in wicket as it is a multi-purpose ground and both teams will decide to bowl first after winning the toss to have a fair assessment of how the pitch will play as the game goes on. This stadium is covered will a roof so the new rule of giving a six to the batter if the ball hits the roof will also come into play.
