IND W Vs PAK W Live Score: Pitch Report (by Isobel Joyce)

"We saw earlier there was good pace and bounce for pacers. Spinners, the ball was stopping a bit. I have just been watching Team India warm up. Hitting with the wind will help the batters clear the fence. Difficult to hit spinners for the batters on this surface."
