ENG vs NED: Pitch Report

The match between the two teams will be played in Pune. The venue is known for batting-friendly pitches, small boundaries, and a quick outfield. Batters love playing at the venue. But in the ongoing tournament, the bowlers have held their own against the batters. The accurate bowler has been able to contain the batters. The wicket has played slightly on the slower side.

Not many teams have scored more than 300 runs at the venue. South Africa did it against New Zealand with a cautious aggression in their approach. Other teams that have batted first at the venue could not judge the nature of the pitch well. With no dew appearing at the venue, the teams would be looking to bat first, as having runs on board might be the right way to go about things.
