Pitch Report
The pitch in Marsa is a decent one to bat on, with help on offer for both the pacers and spinners. The pacers should get the ball to swing around early on, keeping the batters on theit toes. There could be some inconsistent bounce, allowing the bowlers to get some help throughout the game. Wickets in hand will be crucial, with both teams likely to prefer batting first upon winning the toss.
