Pitch Report
It promises to be an exciting encounter between these two top-quality teams in the world. The previous match was played between India and Pakistan with conditions good for batting as the Indian bowler made good use of bowling out Pakistan for 191.
The Indian batters chased down the target easily. It promises to be another good batting pitch and high-scoring venue.
The captain that wins the toss would likely field first, restrict the opponents, and then chase down the target with dew conditions.
