The ground on which today's match is being held is known for the rain of runs. The average score of the first innings in the 5 matches played here this season has been 220 runs. The pitch is completely helpful to the batsmen. In the last match, Rajasthan, batting first on the same ground, had scored a mountain-like score of 243 runs. The team winning the toss may prefer to bat first here, so that in the knockout match, pressure can be put on the opposing team by making a big score. Overall, today again we can see a high-scoring match full of fours and sixes.
