Pitch Report
The pitch at the Moara Vlasiei Cricket Ground is a decent one to bat on with not much help available for the pacers. The dimensions of the ground do not leave much room for error for the bowlers, who will need to vary their lines and lengths to get something out of the track. With the pitch likely to play true to its nature, both teams will be eyeing a big score in the vicinity of 180 if they are to bat first upon winning the toss.
