Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, Mysore, is expected to retain some moisture due to recent rains. This could make the ball come onto the bat a bit slower, forcing batters to be cautious with their stroke play. Bowlers, meanwhile, will have an opportunity to capitalise by maintaining disciplined lines and lengths, which could make it easier to pick up crucial breakthroughs.
