Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pune Pitch Report for 2nd IND vs SL T20I

The Pitch at MCA Stadium provides good assistance to the batters. A fresh MCA pitch has an even bounce on offer which makes it easy for the batters to judge the ball and play their shots. However, the pacers may as well bring the good bounce into use and pick some wickets upfront. The venue being an open stadium, there is a fair amount of breeze going on here mostly and hence it might play an important role for the pacers. The dew factor doesn’t really come into play at this venue.

It has been seen in the IPL games played at the MCA Stadium that the spinners do find some turn in the second half of the match. Hence, batting first would be an ideal choice upon winning the toss here. A total of around 160 could be a competitive total at the MCA Stadium.
