With Madhavrao Scindia Stadium hosting its first-ever international match, fans are eager to know whether the game will be high-scoring or a low-key affair. Here’s a look at how the pitch is expected to behave for the India vs Bangladesh 1st T20 International.
Pitch report and ground conditions for IND vs BAN 1st T20 at Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium
The pitch at the Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Stadium is expected to favour batsmen. The first look of the wicket suggests it will remain true throughout the 40 overs. The stadium has small straight boundaries and larger square boundaries, which could influence the tactics of fast bowlers, who may be forced to bowl hard lengths. Good-length deliveries might come onto the bat nicely, allowing batters to hit through the line.
“The Gwalior pitch was low and slow at the start, but the authorities made it more batter-friendly later. This was evident during the Madhya Pradesh Premier League when scores significantly increased, with 200 runs being crossed multiple times,” an official from the Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) told Business Standard.
