Pitch report
The pitches at the Ekana Cricket Stadium are one of the few bowler-friendly pitches in India. Hence, the runs are hard to come by for the batters on such a surface, and with the pitch becoming a little balanced with time, spinners could flourish. Opting to bowl first could be a wise decision keeping in sight the target and the calculative chase as a result.
