Pitch Report:
The pitch of Sophia Garden Cricket Stadium is considered more favorable for bowlers. The average score of the first innings on this pitch is 145 runs, because the team bowling first gets more help. The new ball on the track gives good bounce and more turn, due to which the batsmen face problems in the initial overs. Here the captain can choose to bowl first after winning the toss.
