WEF-W vs SOB-W: Pitch Report
The pitch at Sophia Gardens offers some swing and seam movement early on, allowing pace bowlers to strike with the new ball. Batters will need to start carefully; however, once they are set, they will be able to score freely due to a very nice carry on the pitch. Teams chasing generally have an advantage here due to dew making it easier to bat and letting teams manage scoreboard pressure.
