Pitch Report
The DY Patil pitch is considered to be a batsman-friendly pitch. However, fast bowlers may find swing and bounce in the initial overs. In such a situation, the team winning the toss may decide to bowl first. In the last match between India and Bangladesh, which was rain-interrupted, the pitch provided a balanced performance.
Weather Report
There is a 25% chance of rain in Navi Mumbai on Thursday, with a 4-5% chance of thunderstorms. The temperature is expected to be 32°C (maximum) and 25°C (minimum). Light rain may cause brief interruptions in the match, but the entire match is expected to be played.
