Pitch Report
The pitch promises to be a good batting paradise. With one day’s rest after the league stages, there will be a new pitch that would be helpful for the batters and can create a run feast.
Both teams have good quality players who can change the course of the game with their abilities. The captain that wins the toss would likely bat first, put on a score, and keep pressure on the opponent batting team with disciplined bowling.
