India vs New Zealand at Pune, MCA Stadium Pitch Report:
The Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune is typically a haven for batters, but its black soil pitch offers a twist—spinners often come into play as the game progresses. Early on, the pitch tends to favor the batters, making run-scoring relatively easy. However, as the surface begins to wear, the conditions become more challenging, and spinners can exploit the increasing turn throughout the match. As the sun dries out the pitch, batting becomes progressively tougher. The abrasive conditions also provide an opportunity for pacers to reverse swing the older ball. Given these factors, winning the toss and opting to bat first is usually the wisest choice.
