Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium Pitch Report
The pitch at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is expected to be good for both batsmen and bowlers. Fast bowlers might get some help early on with swing and seam conditions. But as the game goes on, it should become easier for batsmen to score runs. On average, teams tend to score around 291 runs in the first innings here.
The stadium has big boundaries, which means batsmen can easily run between the wickets to score singles and doubles. So, if a team wins the toss, they might choose to field first.
The weather forecast for Hyderabad on the match day looks pretty good. It’s expected to be partly cloudy, with only a very low chance of rain (about 10%). These conditions should also favor the fast bowlers, allowing them to make the ball move in the air and off the pitch.
Injury Updates
There are no major injury concerns for either team ahead of this match. Both Pakistan and the Netherlands have full-strength squads to choose from.
