Pitch & conditions
The DY Patil Stadium has already hosted several run-fest encounters this week. The surface provides reliable bounce, making it ideal for batters who like to play their shots. With the match scheduled in the evening, dew is expected to play a major role. As conditions tend to favour chasing, the captain winning the toss is likely to opt to bowl first, especially since spinners may find it difficult to control the ball later in the game.
