KS vs KUM Pitch Report
The pitch at the Sulabiya Ground is pretty much a balanced one where the batters will get full value for their shots. However, the wicket tends to slow down as the match progresses, making it difficult to bat in the second innings. Batting first should be the preferred option, with the average first-innings score in the last five matches played at the venue being 171 runs.
