Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot offers a batting friendly pitch and the team which wins the toss should look to bat first and put the opponent in the scoreboard pressure by getting more than 350 runs. The batters would certainly enjoy batting at this venue as it does not offer any help to the pacers. However, spinners will definitely find a bit of turn but that won’t pose much problems for a set batter.
