Match Details

Greenfield International Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram — Pitch Report

The surface at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram has had a very dry wicket, which does not allow the batters to open their arms freely and score runs at will. However, in the second innings, with dew kicking in, it gets pretty easier to find the gaps, and the outfield also helped the batters a lot. A similar option must be chosen by the captain who calls it correctly at the coin toss on Tuesday evening as well.
