Ind vs WI 1st T20I: Pitch report
The track at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is known for its uneven bounce. As seen in IPL matches, the pitch can either be an absolute belter or a rank-turner. The proceedings are expected to be in favour of the spinners and a potential thriller is on the cards. Additionally, the team winning the toss will be looking to chase down the target as dew is likely to kick in as the evening progresses.
