The pitch at The Rose Bowl is said to be amongst the most competitive in the country and it caters to all players. Fast bowlers, in particular, are having a ball here due to the bounce and movement available with the new ball. Batters who survive the early challenge may reap the benefits later on in the innings, so rotating the strike is crucial. Due to the balanced conditions, carrying out the execution of plans will be the most important factor to win the match.
