THU vs SCO: Pitch Report
The pitch at the showground is notably neutral, minimising the significance of the toss. Both batting-first and second teams have a nearly equal winning percentage. However, it's crucial to note that spin will play a substantial role in the second inning of the match. Therefore, consider including a wrist spinner from the team batting first in your Dream11 lineup for today's game.
