Pitch Report: 

The pitch here is slow and the deck only tests the batsmen drastically. Reaching the 150-run mark is quite difficult.  Unlike previous seasons, the pitch has changed quite immensely. The deck has been extremely slow and the ball isn’t coming on nicely to the bat. The deck will continue to be the same for this game too.
