Sophia Gardens Pitch Report
Sophia Gardens is expected to offer a balanced surface with something in it for both batters and bowlers. The new ball could assist seamers, especially during the early stages of the match when there is likely to be some moisture in the pitch. Batters who survive the initial phase should find scoring easier as the innings progresses.
Captains winning the toss are likely to opt to bowl first, considering the early start and the assistance available for the pace bowlers. A total in the region of 145-155 could prove to be a competitive score on this surface.
