Pitch Report
The pitch and the conditions at the Docklands Stadium are expected to work in favour of the batters to a great extent. However, the bounce will also help the pace bowlers and spinners throughout the T20 match. But the batters of both the teams will enjoy batting on this wicket and thus, picking more of batters and all-rounders will be a great option.
