Pitch Report
The surface at the Greenfield International Stadium in Thiruvananthapuram has been a batter-friendly surface over the years. When playing under artificial lights, the white ball is expected to swing around, especially in the first half of the match. Teams winning the toss will most probably opt to bowl first to avoid the risk of dew that might affect the play in the second innings, which makes run-scoring an easier job.
