Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium’s Pitch Report

It is a graveyard for the bowlers as the surface is flat and the batters are likely to have a party in the middle. Furthermore, the boundaries are not that big and the outfield is pretty quick. However, there will be some swing with the new ball more so under the lights in the second innings due to the breeze that passes by. One could expect a high-scoring encounter here.
