Match Details

Pitch Report

The surface at the Srikantadatta Narasimha Raja Wadeyar Ground, Mysore, is expected to favour spinners as the game progresses. Batters, however, will look to capitalise on the field restrictions during the powerplay to put runs on the board early. As the innings goes on, stroke-making could become more challenging, bringing the slower bowlers into play.
