Pitch Report
The behaviour of this pitch is just like a pitch which is ideal for any T20 format. Teams always find here the good balance between the bat and ball. Not only this but also the bounce here is pretty much getable and easy to read for any batsman. However, against the spinner especially leg spinner batsmen may get little toughness. Here spin bowlers can get help with the extra bounce as likely to hoodwink the batsman as turn. Overall, a good pitch for the ICC World Cup like platforms.
