IND vs ENG: Match Details
The Ranchi pitch at the JSCA International Stadium is expected to be favourable for batters, particularly during the initial two days of the match. With two previous games played at this venue, one resulted in a win for the team batting first, while the other ended in a draw. The anticipated deterioration of the pitch in the latter stages of the match will be a significant consideration for both captains. Therefore, winning the toss and opting to bat first would likely be the preferred choice. Spin bowlers are expected to find ample assistance from the Ranchi pitch, which is anticipated to feature light grass and some minor cracks. Consequently, spin bowling is expected to play a crucial role, prompting both teams to focus more on their spin bowling options.
