ODJ vs OPU: Pitch report
The track at the Barabati Stadium is known to benefit the batsmen and they can use that to their advantage to put up big runs on the board. However, the dew factor comes into play since it’s an evening match and the pitch does tend to support spinners in the second half of the game.
