Pitch Report: 

The pitch at VCA Stadium continues to play slow and 'sluggish,' favoring bowlers, and seamers in particular with the new ball and spinners later on. The sting of large boundaries will not help clear the boundary any easier, and scores between 120 and 130 could make for a competitive total. Expect captains to want to bat first, with new conditions and scoreboard pressure.

• Nature of Surface: Two-paced; seam early on and spin later on
• Spinners: Should play a big role in the middle and death overs
• Boundary Dimensions: Long straight/square boundaries; a challenging six-hitting ground

Records at Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium:

• Highest Team Total: 131-10 BR vs NMB
• Lowest Team Total: 108-10 NMB vs BR
• Average First Innings Total: 126 runs.
