Here’s the pitch report of the Holkar Cricket Stadium:
The pitch at Holkar Stadium has a steady bounce, giving the batsmen freedom to play their shots. The stadium’s extremely small boundaries, one of the smallest in India, may make bowlers’ problems worse. This field has already hosted some high-scoring games, such as when India scored 260 runs against Sri Lanka in 2017, its highest T20I score.
