Pitch Report:

It’s an evenly poised surface that continues to assist both batter and bowlers. We have only witnessed a couple of high-scoring encounters in this competition, and hence we can say bowlers are doing their job really well in restricting the batters for the below-par scores. Batting 2^nd is a preferable option.
