The Holkar pitch is expected to be a batting paradise with the big hitters of both teams finding joy on its surface. You just have to look to Virender Sehwag’s 219 runs in 2011 vs West indies to understand the big-scoring potential of this stadium which provides even bounce and shorter boundaries. The bowlers will find a bit of trouble trying to get some assistance from this surface. Expect a big-scoring affair.
