Sophia Gardens Pitch Report:
The pitch at Sophia Gardens offers lively pace and bounce in the early overs, providing an ideal platform for fast bowlers to make an impact. As the match progresses, it tends to flatten out, becoming more favorable for batters, with spinners receiving limited assistance. However, by the second innings, the surface begins to dry out, off𝄹ering more grip for spinners and shifting the dynamics of the game. Winning the toss and opting to bat first is often a smart tactic at this renowned venue.
