AUS vs BAN: Pitch Report

The stadium in Pune has a purely batting-friendly wicket and there are higher chances of winning if the team that wins the toss chooses to bat first. The pitch, however, also provides some bounce and carry for seamers with spinners who came into the game in the second innings of the last match. In this concern, Bangladesh needs to bat well and set a good total on the board while batting first.
