Pitch Report

The pitch looks balanced as it remains constant throughout the 20 overs. But one glaring aspect is the decline in the strike rate of batters batting in the second innings as the ball stops before coming onto the bat. Bowlers can capitalize on the varied bounce on offer and the teams should not be too ambitious with the total.
