Well, the last two games were high-scoring affairs. But both matches took place on different surfaces.
The first game had a red soil pitch, which offers an even bounce and pace. The second had a black soil pitch, where the ball sticks to the surface.
Now, it will be interesting to see which pitch will be used for the GT vs RR match. If it’s a red soil wicket, batters will score plenty of runs. As for the black soil track, run scoring will be slightly difficult with uneven bounce.
Bowlers, meanwhile, will have little assistance. They will need to force batters to make a mistake and take wickets.
