Pitch Report
A good batting track beckons at the Diamond Oval with some movement on offer for the bowlers. Although the pacers should get some swing early on, the batters should enjoy the ball skidding on to the bat. As the match progresses, the pitch may slow down, bringing the spinners into play. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 160 being par at the venue.
