Today’s Match Pitch Report
The pitch at the Greenfield International Stadium is known to initially favor bowlers, offering some early assistance for pacers and later turn for spinners; however, the expected dew factor for the evening match makes chasing the preferred option after winning the toss. Historically, teams have preferred to bowl first at this venue, as the dew makes gripping the ball difficult in the second innings and conditions improve for batting under lights, giving the chasing side a distinct advantage.
