Pingfeng Campus Cricket Field Hangzhou Pitch Report

We can expect a load of runs at Hangzhou Cricket Stadium during IND vs NEP clash. The average 1st innings score here is 165, but we should not forget that these games are played by inexperienced and low-ranked teams. Nepal has crossed the 200-run mark in their 3 games on the Hangzhou pitch. Now, they will meet India in the upcoming clash, and if they bat first they may not reach the 200-run mark again.

But if India bats first, a 200-run score can be achieved easily due to the small dimensions of the ground and Indian batters may be too much to handle for the Nepal bowlers. So, a team would look to bat first here.
