Match Details

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground in Mysore has shown a tendency to get progressively tougher for batting as matches wear on. Batters will need to capitalize on the powerplay overs to maximize scoring opportunities. Meanwhile, bowlers are expected to enjoy considerable assistance from the surface, particularly after it absorbed dampness following the recent heavy rains in the city. The chances of precipitation loom around this clash as well, and hence, the captain winning the toss should look to chase.
