Pitch Report
As seen in the previous game, the pitch is a brilliant one to bat on with little help on offer for the pacers. With this being the third game at this venue, the pitch could be a touch slower than usual, bringing the spinners into play. The batters should feel at home from ball one, with wickets in hand being crucial. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss, with 250 being a good total at this venue.
