ISL vs PES – Pitch Report
Win the toss and bowl first will be the mantra as Rawalpindi has been gripped with harsh weather. The temperature on Monday is set to be as low as six degrees as the minimum temperature. Dew will play a huge role during the game and rain could also have its say. This will also bring the Duckworth and Lewis equation into play so chasing will be the right option. The wicket is unused and the ground is small so one expects a high-scoring game.
