And, if the same wicket is used in the T20I series then fans might get to watch a run-fest with batters smashing the ball across the park. But, the spinners will also play an important role in the second half of the match, who will get some turn from the wicket. The team winning the toss will look to bat first because it is relatively easy to chase on this ground.
