On Thursday, India and Bangladesh will cross swords against each other in the 17th group-stage match of the ongoing World Cup. India have enjoyed a stellar run in the competition, winning their all three fixtures so far. On the contrary, Bangladesh have blown hot and cold, occupying the seventh position in the standings with a solitary win in three outings. However, considering the recent rivalry between the two sides, we anticipate a cracking contest in this high-voltage clash. 

So, as the MCA stadium in Pune gears up to host the face-off, let's see how its pitch is expected to behave throughout the game. 


MCA Stadium Pune Pitch Report

The surface at the MCA stadium in Pune has been a paradise for the batters, with the average scoring rate reading a whopping 6.10 in seven ODIs played here. The track's pace and bounce will be even, making it ideal for stroke play. However, there could be a hint of turn on offer for the spinners, as anyone would expect from an Indian pitch. 

Statistically, teams batting first have won an extra game than the chasing sides at the venue. However, considering it will be a fresh pitch and dew might play a role later in the evening, the toss-winning side will likely field first.
