IND vs NZ: Pitch Report

The pitch will help the batters in the first inning, and run scoring will be easy at Wankhede. However, the ball will seam and swing under lights for approximately 15 overs, which will be very challenging for the batters. But later, the dew will make it easy in the second inning. Bowling first is an ideal choice on this pitch.
