Pitch Report

The HPCA Stadium’s playing conditions are immensely favorable for bowlers, allowing them to utilize bounce and swing to their advantage, thereby helping to keep scores low. This can be a disadvantage for batting teams who are trying to chase a score, as the pitch favors the bowlers in the second innings.

Comparing the skills of the Dutch player Vikramjit Singh and the South African, Kagiso Rabada, during the first powerplay will be an exciting contest. Vikramjit has an impressive 808 runs in 25 matches, whereas Rabada has an outstanding record of 141 wickets in 91 games.
