India vs West Indies, Pitch Report:
The PCA New Cricket Stadium is expected to offer a balanced pitch that provides opportunities for both batters and bowlers. In the early stages, seamers may find some movement with the new ball, while batters who settle in can score freely as the surface becomes easier for stroke-making. Spinners could become more effective as the match progresses, particularly if the pitch starts to slow down. Overall, the venue should provide a competitive contest between bat and ball, with disciplined bowling and good shot selection likely to be important.
