India vs England 3rd T20, Rajkot Pitch Report

The pitch at Niranjan Shah Stadium has historically favored batters. The surface offers good bounce, allowing the ball to come onto the bat nicely, which results in high-scoring encounters. Teams batting first have often had the advantage as they can set a big target and put pressure on the opposition.

Chasing a target at this venue can be a bit tricky since conditions tend to become more challenging as the game progresses. The flat pitch initially benefits batters, but as the match goes on, it starts to change in nature. Hence, the toss will play a crucial role, and the team winning the toss is likely to opt for batting first.
