Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium pitch is expected to favour bowlers, especially fast bowlers who can exploit early seam and swing movement. Additionally, spinners may find opportunities as the fixture unfolds. On the batting front, conditions are likely to become more conducive to scoring in the second innings, with the spacious boundaries allowing batters to easily rotate singles and twos. Therefore, the toss-winning team is expected to opt for fielding first.
