Pitch Report:

The MCA Stadium in Pune is generally considered favorable for batting. However, due to weather conditions and possible moisture, the pacers may find early movement with the new ball. As the game progresses, the pitch tends to ease out for stroke play, but spin can come into play if the surface dries and slows.

• Balanced Surface: Early movement for seamers; good bounce for shot-making
• Spinners’ Role: Effective during middle and late overs if the pitch slows down
• Boundary dimensions: Standard boundaries; square boundaries are easier to clear than straight
