India vs Bangladesh at Gwalior; MPCA Stadium Pitch Report
The MPCA Stadium in Gwalior is renowned for offering a batting-friendly pitch, and the first T20I could see similar conditions unfold. Historically, this surface has favored batters, turning it into a scoring haven. In fact, during the MP T20 final, over 450 runs were amassed, highlighting the run-scoring potential of the ground. Fans can expect another high-scoring contest in the series opener, with the possibility of a run-fest on the cards.
The pitch is known for its consistency and even bounce, making it easier for batters to settle in and play their strokes. Given the flat nature of the track, it is unlikely to undergo significant changes as the game progresses. This makes it an ideal setting for teams to chase, as batting conditions are expected to remain favorable throughout the match. Therefore, the team that wins the toss would be prudent to opt for bowling first, with the hope of capitalizing on the batting-friendly conditions later in the game.
