IND vs PAK Pitch Report
A high quality and unique pitch. Fast bowlers can get some seam, the spinners will get some turn, and a good batter can also score a century on this wicket. With DLS in picture, the captain winning the toss might prefer to bowl first. But Batting will be an adequate option for the team, which will look for the dew factor in the later overs.
IND vs PAK Weather Report
As predicted by Google Weather, there is a 65% chance of rain before the time of the toss and it will decrease around just 20% to 23% in the first innings of the match in Pallekele. Mostly Cloudy conditions are expected.
“We are going to bat first. There is a bit of weather around, but can’t think much about it. Got to play good cricket, you need to embrace the challenge, embrace the situation. We had some time off after the West Indies series. Everyone was up for those drills and challenges in Bangalore. Let’s see what we can achieve in this tournament. It’s a quality tournament with quality oppositions. At the end of the day we need to see what we can achieve as a team. Iyer is back, Bumrah is back and we got three seamers. Got two spinners – Kuldeep and Jadeja”, Rohit Sharma at the Toss.
