• Date and time: May 28; 06:30 pm local | 05:30 pm GMT | 11:00 pm IST
• Location: Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Sophia Gardens Pitch Report:

The stadium at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff is expected to provide equal pace and bounce. In the beginning, there may be help to the fast bowlers due to the excess moisture, which leads to slow movement of the seam. However, as the game progresses, it is expected to be a batting pitch.

Historically, the Cardiff pitch tends to retain its moisture and does not dry out quickly, meaning spinners may not get a significant chance. With the wicket expected to remain stable throughout the match, teams batting second may have an advantage. Given that six of the nine games at this venue were won by the team batting second, the captain who won the toss is expected to choose to run first.
