Pitch Report
As witnessed in the first 4 T20Is the best time to bat at Ahmedabad is the second half. Shot making is extremely challenging in the first half as the pitch continues to be dry and on the slower side. Team batting second will certainly have an advantage as the ball skids on later on because of dew which makes scoring runs easy.
Injury and Availability News
No injury concerns for both sides ahead of the match.
