IND vs NZ 1st ODI: Pitch Report
The Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is a good site to bat first while playing limited-overs cricket since the surface helps spinners and medium pacers in the second innings. Here, the surface is typically dry and difficult, which aids bowlers in bouncing and spinning the ball.
On such a surface, it is simple to bat during both innings, and many runs can be scored quickly. In ODIs, hitters have a greater chance of scoring because of the broader field of play. In limited-overs contests, where dew also plays a role, teams typically choose to bat first and employ their bowling assault to defend the score.
