Match Date & Time:
2022-04-23 03:30 PM (IST) 2022-04-23 10:00 AM (GMT)
Match Venue: DY Patil Stadium, Mumbai, India
Pitch Report:
Pitch at DY Patil has good piece of bounce, batters enjoy the condition along side the pacers.
We can see a lot of what weve seen all season, lots of grass, and that should help the quicks a bit. The ball should come onto the bat nicely as it has done at this venue. Having a closer look at the track, it seems to be a bit dry and the cracks look like they could open up sooner than later. Not saying that it will be a raging turner but there should be a little something in there for the spinners. Gut feel, win the toss and bat first." reckons Nick Knight.
Weather Report:
The weather will be clean and bright with sun out in the middle.
