Pitch report
The track at the Montjuic Olympic Ground is a batting-friendly one, with an average first innings score of 95 runs. The shorter boundaries on offer aid the batsmen in scoring some quick runs. There is hardly any assistance for the bowlers, meaning they will have to bank on the batters' mistakes to pick up wickets. The captain winning the toss should look to bat first and post a healthy total on the board in this ECS encounter.
