Pitch Report
Expect a batting paradise on offer. If you are a batter, just play at this venue and you'll score truckloads of runs. It's flat and ideal for stroke-making. Bowlers will need to change their lengths and use different variations to fox the batters. That's the only way to take wickets here.
