Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium Pitch Report:
The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot is renowned for being a batter’s paradise with its surface offering consistent pace and bounce. A hard pitch ensures that the ball moves smoothly on the bat and allows the batsmen to play their shots freely from the first moment. Early deliveries are difficult for bowlers as runs can be difficult on such a surface. However, as the match progresses, spinners are likely to emerge, especially during the middle overs when the pitch may start to slow down. Dew could play a crucial role in evening games too, giving the team batting second advantage.
