The third one day international could be labelled as a high scoring game as the average score over here has been 298 in the last five years. As per Sanjay Manjrekar and Alan Wilkins, “Slightly dark green look to the track, so that suggests some moisture. Tufty grass, so I think it is likely to turn and grip later on in the match. The wind is howling, so that looks like it'll dry the pitch up soon. The captain winning the toss will have to make a tough decision. Better to lose the toss today.”
