JSK vs DSG: Pitch Report

The Wanderers Stadium is known for its high-scoring matches. The pitch usually offers good bounce and carry, which helps batters play their shots freely. Fast bowlers also get assistance due to the extra bounce. Teams batting first may look to score big, as totals above 220 can be challenging to chase here.
