IND vs NZ 2nd T20 Pitch Report: The Shaheed Veer Narayan Singh International Stadium in Raipur hasn't hosted many international matches. The history of this ground suggests that it's a high-scoring venue. The pitch is generally flat, making it conducive to boundaries and sixes. Bowlers don't get much assistance and have to work hard to take wickets. They will need to try different variations to be successful.
The team that wins the toss will likely choose to bowl first, as there's a high probability of dew in the second innings, which makes scoring runs even easier. Overall, bowlers could have a tough time, and we can expect a high-scoring match at this ground.
