Pitch Report
There will be some movement on offer for the pacers with the new ball in both the innings. Spinners will get little to no help off the deck but they will be important. Batters, once set, can go big and win games single-handedly if they get going. There is a chasing bias at this venue so teams will prefer chasing. The average first innings score here is 150 with the chasing sides winning all the 3 games at this venue.
Fantasy Value from Pitch Report
- Middle order batters will be very important, especially from the chasing sides.
- Pick death bowlers in the first innings and new ball bowlers from the second innings.
- This season, the spinners have found more success in the first innings. So pick one of Cameron Boyce & Lloyd Pope in your teams if not both of them. Patrick Dooley will be a good option for Big Leagues while bowling first.
- New ball bowlers will get assistance so dropping openers who are not in good form can be worth the risk, especially in the second innings.
