PBKS vs KKR: Pitch report by Darren Ganga
“Average first innings score in day matches is 159 here and 80 per cent of matches have been won by teams chasing. As a result of the moisture in the surface. This pitch is light brown in colour which means there’s not a lot of moisture. It’s also very hard, so it might be more even for teams batting first and second. There’s a good covering of grass which looks quite even.”
