Pitch report
The surface at the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune is a batting paradise. The bowlers might feel the heat due to the ground dimensions. But the spinners get a bit of bite from the surface as the game goes on. But with dew around and the ball skidding off the surface under lights, bowing first might be the way to go about business.
