PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

The skies will be clear, and we expect a good game. Batsmen will enjoy batting on this sur-face as the ball would come onto the bat nicely. It will be a challenge for the bowlers, given the flat nature of the surface. The average first-inning score at this venue is 174 runs, and the side batting first will be like 190 on the board.

RAJK vs DUBG Pitch Report

Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium, Raipur, is a small venue and a paradise for batsmen who can easily hit the ball on the up. There is little assistance for the fast bow-lers on this flat, dusty track. Spinners who toss the ball up have done well as the wicket as the ball turns sharply.

Toss: To Bowl

In this format, most teams prefer to chase scores. The evening dew will make it tough for the bowlers in the second innings when the wicket gets flatter and better to bat. The side winning the toss won't hesitate to bowl first.
