Informe MCA Pitch antes de India e Inglaterra T20i

The Men in Blue will look to get back on track when they meet England once again. After winning the Kolkata and Chennai T20Is, the team lost the Rajkot game but certainly showed brilliance with the ball. However, it was the batters who disappointed, as not many made an impact. Whether it was Hardik Pandya or Abhishek Sharma, all failed to chase the 172-run target.

Credit goes to England, as they recovered from 127/8 and posted a competitive total of 171 in 20 overs before restricting India to 145 runs.

Now, the series is set with India winning two games and England one. All eyes will be on the upcoming encounter between India and England at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. So, what can we expect from the pitch this time? Take a look at the MCA pitch report and the stadium’s T20I stats to find out.

MCA pitch report

The MCA surface is usually known for assisting bowlers, particularly spinners. Once again, bowlers like Varun Chakravarthy from India and Adil Rashid from England can be effective on this ground. Rashid, coming off an impressive game, could trouble Indian batters, while the Three Lions, who are known to struggle against spinners, might face challenges here as well.

However, there is something for batters too. Although big scores are unlikely on this surface, anything above 180 runs could be a strong total. It will be highly interesting to see how things comes, but the better strategy would be for the team winning the toss to bowl first, take advantage of the initial conditions, and then chase the target.
