Pitch and Conditions:Pitch and Conditions:

The wind is blowing at a speed is 17kmph. Coming to ground dimensions, it's 63 meters square of the wicket on either side and 75m hit straight down the ground. It's a brand new wicket, there's been seam, there's been swing and there's been spin. There are a lot of cracks and there’s patchy grass so there will be uneven bounce. Out of the 51 wickets taken at this venue this world cup, 38 have been taken by seamers. It’s a bat first wicket and I think 140-150 would be a good score on this track.
