Pitch report and other details
Match details

The pitch at Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium is known for providing equal support to both batsmen and bowlers.

However, batting gets tougher as the match progresses due to the black soil nature of the wickets.

Owing to the same, spinners can get plenty of assistance in the middle overs.

Meanwhile, the match, which will begin at 3:30pm IST, will be broadcast on JioStar Network Channels and live-streamed on JioHotstar (App & Website).
