Pitch Report
The pitch could help the spinners which would create doubt in the batter’s minds. Deepti Sharma was the pick of bowlers for the Indian team with 5 for 38 in 10 overs. Batting could become tough after the new ball.
It promises to be another good pitch that provides a balance between bat and ball. The captain that wins the toss would likely bat first, post a decent total and then win the match.
