Pitch report
The square boudaries are 64m and 67m long on either sides. Matthew Hayden says the black soil pitch is very hard and there is very little grass. There is a breeze blowing towards the batter, so clearing the boundaries will be slightly hard. Hayden says it won’t be as high-scoring a venue as Mohali.MARCH 23, 2024 14:44
