Pitch Report:
There's a lot of grass on this pitch, there's been a lot of moisture put on this ground by the ground staff. The wicket will not be quick, will be fairly easy-paced. What you want to avoid doing with the ball is bowling short. The spin bowlers could quite enjoy this wicket, there might be a bit of turn but it'll be fairly slow turn, it won't be explosive. Not a high-scoring venue today, 150-160 will be a good score for the side batting first.
Stats:
2 – Rashid Khan needs just two more wickets to reach the milestone of 100 wickets in the IPL.
