Pitch & Ground Conditions:
The conditions are expected to favour the batters, with a flat pitch, short boundaries, and a quick outfield creating the perfect setup for a high-scoring encounter. The surface at this venue has historically offered little for bowlers, making it imperative for LAKR to be clinical with their execution. With runs likely to flow, the game promises to be a thrilling spectacle and LAKR’s batting firepower is more than ready to embrace it.
