Pitch Report

The pitch at the Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, is generally considered a balanced surface. However, bowlers tend to have the upper hand in the early stages of the game as the pitch offers good pace and swing. While the pitch initially presents a challenge for the batsmen, it becomes easier for them as the match progresses. Hence, the batsmen will have to play cautiously in the beginning and will get opportunities to score runs only after they have settled.
