Pitch report

The West End Park International Cricket Stadium in Doha is expected to provide a balanced contest between bat and ball. The pitch usually offers consistent bounce and some assistance for spinners as the game progresses. The typically dry and warm conditions in Doha will favor teams that adapt well to fast outfields and slower turning surfaces.

If we take a look at the squads, both teams have some really talented players who can produce stellar results, but India’s opener, Vaibhav Suryavanshi, is the one player to watch out for in the upcoming clash.
