Pitch Report:
The pitch at the Barsapara Stadium has proven to be a batter’s paradise. It mainly has a hard deck where the batters can trust the bounce and hot along the line. The bowlers have been smacked around the ground and the same can be expected in the coming match. The skipper winning the toss might want to have a bowl first.
