IND vs SL Pitch Report
It will be the fifth T20I at Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium (Rajkot). As the dew factor can play an important role at this venue, the toss-winning captain is very likely to consider bowling first. This T20 venue generally brings a good batting pitch.
Although June 2022 experienced India’s successful defending (169/6) against South Africa at this T20I venue, where the visitors were also bundled out at chasing for just 87 runs, we are expecting a better batting performance in the forthcoming series decider. Pacers play key roles at this T20 venue.
Toss prediction: Win the toss and bowl first
