Pitch Report
The Barsapara Cricket Stadium has only hosted one T20I match, which Australia won by eight wickets. Although the surface wasn't hazardous for batsmen, Jason Behrendorff's brilliance devastated India's batting. This time, we should expect a well-balanced surface that will benefit both batsmen and bowlers.
