Pitch report for the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium:

Batters have a preference surface at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium. The pitch bounces at different points during the game, so the pacers have a decent chance of taking advantage of that. If the skipper wins the toss at this location, it could be a good idea to bowl first and chase the target down.
