BEN-W vs PUN-W Pitch Report

VCA Stadium, Civil Lines, Nagpur, is a small venue. It allows the batters to free their arms on the track with even bounce and pace. There is assistance for the fast bowlers early in the game. Spinners also do well in the latter overs as the ball grips the surface.

Toss: To Bowl

In the past, we have seen most sides win at this venue, bowling first. The surface was slower than normal in the last game. Posting a total in such conditions is never easy. The team winning the toss shall opt to bowl first and restrict their opponents to a small total.
