Green Park Pitch Report

The pitch is generally regarded as a batting-friendly surface during the early stages of the Test match, offering plenty of runs for the top-order batsmen. However, as the match progresses beyond the first two days, the surface is expected to deteriorate, bringing spinners into play with increased turn and grip. This shift in conditions will likely compel both teams to include more spinners in their lineup to exploit the growing assistance for slow bowlers. As the pitch slows down over time, the bounce will also become lower, making Strokeplay increasingly difficult for the batsmen in the later stages of the game.
