Pitch report

The pitch at Mullanpur will continue to offer a potential high-scoring encounter between the two strongest batting sides of the season. It is expected to be an identical surface with only a few dry patches. The bowlers need to be careful with their lengths as anything too full or too short can be punished, as the ball comes onto the bat nicely, especially when over-pitched. Fast bowlers who hit the hard length will get the most out of this track.
