IND vs AFG: Pitch Report
The Mohali pitch is anticipated to offer a balanced playing surface, providing support to both batters and bowlers. Pacers can expect early assistance from the track, while spinners are likely to remain impactful throughout the match. In addition to it, the dew will play a huge role in the game as it is some serious winters in the Northern part of India. But majorly, it will be batting-friendly given it is a T20 game.
