PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

We expect excellent weather conditions. Batting conditions will be good as the track is known for big scores. Batsmen can easily play their strokes, and bowlers must use their variations well. The team batting first would like to have 180 on board.

SLO vs INR Pitch Report

Miraj International Cricket Stadium, Rajasthan, has large boundaries, but the outfield is fast, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Fast bowlers find it challenging to bowl on this surface, but the spinners have done well here as there is some turn on this surface. 

Toss: To Bat

We expect good batting conditions at the start, and the wicket will slow as the game progresses. The team batting first has had an edge in the last few games. The side winning the toss would look to bat first.
