Maharaja Yadavindra Singh International Cricket Stadium Pitch Report:

The pitch is batting-friendly and we may see a high-scoring match. While spinners become successful later, pacers receive some early movement.  A new ball may get a good bounce, and carry should be made available. Perhaps the dryness will help the spinners. With a well-balanced combination of pacers and spinners, teams may opt to bat first.
