India vs New Zealand pitch report

The pitch at Bloemfontein has been favourable to both batsmen and bowlers. The last game that New Zealand played at the venue was the prime example with batsmen getting full value for their shots while at the same time, both fast bowlers, as well as spinners, getting assistance from the pitch. With Thunderstorms set to lash out on Friday, the fast bowlers could be more lethal and both sides may want to exploit the moisture by opting to bowl first.
