Pitch Report:
The Maharashtra Cricket Association (MCA) Stadium in Pune is known for its true bounce and even carry, making it a favourable surface for batters once they settle in. Early in the innings, especially under the lights, fast bowlers can extract movement off the seam and pose a real threat with the new ball. However, as the match progresses, the surface tends to ease out, allowing batters to play through the line with confidence.
Spinners may find assistance during the middle overs, particularly with the occasional grip and variable bounce on offer. Teams batting second often enjoy better conditions, thanks to the dew factor, which reduces grip for bowlers and quickens the outfield. Given these dynamics, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt for bowling first, aiming to capitalise on the initial movement and chase under easier conditions.
